you mouth breather -
stand out among the
mighty winds and
glorious droplets of
cold winter rain;
and look up.
Close your eyes
and breathe in.
Breathe in deeply -
through your nose.
Feel the splashes of
cold wetness on your
forearms and on
your face.
Hear what escapes our
listening while we work;
the majestic gusts of air
that seem to howl around
and up; back to the skies.
Don't ever forget this;
for this is what is real.
Stand firmly upon both
feet and soak up all that
can be known with every
cell your body avails.
You are awash with the
wonder of quarks; you are
repleat with the amazement of
quasars. It only takes
one atom to be broken
open to awe to set the
universe aflame. Find that
pearl, clasp that ducat.
Sell all you have
for that one electron
to SEE!
