Candle Lesson – Live Longer

Candle Lesson – Live Longer
take a piece of dripped-off wax
and hold it to the candle’s flame
let it drip into the well
of melted wax and gain
gain on flame’s burning time
for the flame will now burn lower
a life now lived longer
conserving energy by going slower
candle is teaching us
awareness the bestower

Quest for Freedom

Quest for Freedom
freedom from fear
freedom to be
this has been our quest
since the times of Galilee

Postulate

Postulate
do we still postulate
or do we now know?
what we have assumed before
science now is changing
changing the status quo
research is proving
concepts we used to project
experimental testing shows
what is true or incorrect
quantum entanglement
is a field of recent study
Nobel Prize worthy
old beliefs relegated
to that place called fuddy duddy

status quo…existing state of understanding
fuddy duddy…old-fashioned
