So Much More – a poem

So Much More

 

It is so much more.

In the incredible dream of life,

Adrift within wonder,

Amid a zillion zillion stars

We also live within the greater mystery

Of the whole of nature.

For as marvellous as a galaxy

Is the splendour

Of a single cell.

Biology is a wonder; to study the mystery of life; to cherish the plants and animals which we are part of; what could be more exhilarating?
