Suspended Are We

Suspended Are We

A Poem by C.R.Turner

Suspended are we
in this life -
between birth and death;
earth and sky;
friends and family.

Atoms and electrons
making us just 4% matter
the rest as yet unknown.

We pass through
time and space
like a loose butterfly net
thinking we are solid -
certain of ourselves.

But even our 4% matter
is mostly water -
itself a loose liquid.

That thought you just had?
A watery chemical reaction.

We are so sure of ourselves,
in our houses, jobs and cars.
but our life, our fears, our dreams
are just a tiny oscillation
in the fabric of spacetime.

Reason to be pessimistic?

Nah, this means we can have a shitload of fun and get away with it!!!
