Poems - the expanse

the expanse

by delapruch

great minds
not lured in by the need
to assert power over
others,
but yet to invigorate
themselves &
others,
simultaneously,
hand the baton of
knowledge, practice,
discovery, utilization &
progress,
from hand to hand
(as one dies the next
begins---like one candle
lighting another
infinitely),
in an ever expanding
fascination,
when staring out into
the cosmos,
egging on the populace,
whose own growing love
for science is something
so beautiful that it evades
description---
one just has to smile,
having enough time in a day
to sit down with a fresh
book/ebook,
taking the moment to embrace
the personal unknown,
in the attempt to continue
fostering a scientific literacy
within,
so that very understanding
can be passed on,
from friend to friend,
family member to family
member, parent to child &
between children,
in hopes of widening our
minds,
together---
regardless of all those
useless, dogmatic cogs,
who would have us do
otherwise.
