In Laboratories Great


Winter stars have returned to the morn,
And gentle breezes are cooler now.
Far out to sea a hurricane churns,
Taking Summer in its wake somehow.

I don't need
to tell them. They will find out
the hard way.
Beating me with drugs
and tedious dreams
is not as fun, not
as fun as it seems.

Far away, in laboratories great,
Atom-smashing toddlers are tempting fate,
Revealing planetary turns and rings.
The airplane's sound fades upon distant wings.

A siren song
sung to the merciful
now held hostage.
A divinity
of hand-shaping ends,
some things they shall know
of dancing, dreaming.

You make me think of the Universe which dances its timeless perfect dance, independently of our discoveries. In laboratories there should be found answers that mean progress, scientific progress and let's hope that it will be so.
New experiments, like particle acceleration, may frighten, but hopefully they know what they do!

Your poem is well written and I like it, though it's also enigmatic.

Love,
Margherita
