From The Lab

Soul-Atoms

The experiences of day to day,
All the moments when we have lost our way,
Of the lessons that force a bended knee
From professors too kind or cruel to leave,
Our hopes and doubts and the desperation
To improve ourselves, with hesitation.
The oft blurred visions in need of focus,
Long lost teachings absorbed through osmosis,
The paths full of wonders and painful truths,
The blessings that fault and every excuse,
The great refusal of the world at large,
The final acceptance of who we are.
