Sphere Fear - Linna Monteath

We live in a cage of light,

curved bars of safe limit,

and probe the doubt outside

with unsure hands:

we glimpse the universe

and that beyond…

and struggle to grasp ideas

at the edge of our ability.

My thoughts change how my body works;

this DNA influences that DNA

a world away;

our spiritual appeal affects your well-being;

talking to a Petri dish improves cell division.

There is a pattern of connection,

a beautiful intricate reciprocity

in all that exists.

We pause, amazed and fearful.

What is this power?

How can it be?

The atmosphere hums with heaven

despite our cloth ears.
