Skeptic

Basking in the sunlight

Of every dawn seen

I question the moon

And the skies between

Clouds overhead

Ideas in mind

Galileo's passion

combating sands of time

Science is a branch

in need of a start

Its theories forever tested

in the roots of art

This one I had to read several times... each time I read, the more clicked into place in my mind, which in turn added more questions... .. the more colors, layers, stray thoughts, connections I saw.. would love to hear your thoughts on this one actually... Being a science nerd, I see so many connections with nature and life through it.. so funny the things most people don't realize... very thought-provoking lovely write Bill.. always enjoy my visits to your page...

Heya! Welcome back and thanks! I always felt like science can't come to be factually evident until tested. It's like old movies that we see as just art because it's all fantasy and now things advance into reality down the road. But at the same time I wonder if what we perceive as fact is actually that and how much we really misconstrue.

you're welcome.. it was my pleasure... can see your theory... the mind is a funny thing and depends on the person and where they are getting their "facts" from.. too often these days, they hear someone say something or see it on TV and automatically believe it, without researching on their own and turns out to be just them spreading more garbage that has no real basis... too many people believe what they are told instead of learning to look deeper and find out the truth for themselves...

I really like the connection between science and art in the last stanza. It's very thought provoking.
