Imagine, if you will, a
swirling energy
Dancing around a core
Forever compelled to enter
one end
Of a doughnut-like hole
Converging, traveling up and
Flinging out again in a
creative burst
Spreading in all directions
But pulled by an irresistible
force
To follow semi-circular paths
Back to the base
There to be reunited, renewed
and then
Flow up and out again
And around and back
And up and out
And around and back
Again and again
And --
Can this Torus imaged energy
be universal
Both encompassing the cosmos
And small carbon units like
myself
Did my atoms arise from the
core and
Manifest in a splendid
journey
Through colorful space and
finite time
And will my spirit go back
To coalesce in the core
And spring up again
And again and again
And --
Are black holes in space
Magnetized entrances into a
doughnut hole
where compressed energy races
up the core and
Spews out in a sprawling
light show of universes
Until it is all called back
to the base
To be fused again,
transformed,
Recreated and sent up and out
And around and back
Again and again
And --
