The Equation of You

You are space, not particles,
An echo of light in a body of bone,
Vibrating between stars,
Where distance is measured in thought,
And power is a balance of hearts.

You—yes, you—are Energy (E)
Energy and happiness folded into form (a),
Your mass (m) drawn from bread, breath,
And dreams built from bricks of stardust.
The universe echoes in your chest
As you calculate your way through life.

Your fellow man, a mirror in space,
Carrying his own energy and happiness, 
folded into form (b),
Tangled with yours in the delicate dance
Of shared existence (a/b),
A ratio of power, a glimpse of infinity
Where your soul meets his.

The distance between you and him (r) is not just space—
It’s thought, it’s memory, it’s love unspoken,
Measured in lightyears of silence and smiles.
And the distance between you, the stretch between your eyes and his,
Is the same as the distance between stars
Colliding in a cosmic ballet
Where every step takes a billion years.

The rest of your life (R), the ticking clock of your life,
Winding down but not out.
It is the number of years left
Before you dissolve back into the song
From which you came,
Rejoining the origin of all things, the seed of the universe
Born in the blaze before time.

You think you’re matter,
But it’s the space between your atoms that sings,
Your body will crumble into dust,
But the space that is you
Will float on, between stars, laughing with light,
Leaving your smile on the lips of the universe.

So, you are not just here, you are forever.
You, the force that moves mountains of mind,
You will continue, my friend.
Meet me there, beyond time,
Where the stars pause to hear your name.
Peace and love. E=mc^2/(1+((r(a/b))/R))^2

From a child to an adult

Children who played so boundlessly
Out in the dew-fresh meadows
When the summer sun bathed life in chaos
And their hearts yearned so endlessly

Adults who sought so endlessly
In their fathers' glass houses
When night lights mirrored death in the frame
And their souls glimpsed so heartlessly
