yet
                      riding this flow
                      is
                      the pattern ,
                      impressed,
                      on  the waves
                      on the light,
                      on the chaos of quarks,
                      a maypole dance,
                      interweaving flowing molecules
                      into
                      life and identity.

                      in the end it is the swirling format,
                      that persists,
                      an energy vortex,
                      inviolate,
                      in the eternal now.
