A Ray of Hope
A brilliant ray of sunlight,
A stream of photons,
Searing through space,
Forever.
Bouncing off planets,
Bouncing off faces,
Banishing darkness.
A burst of energy
Released from fission,
From fusion,
From the smashing of atoms.
To interact
In colour,
In brightness;
Revealing
A version of
What
Is real.
Opher 23.5.2023
Some things are eternal – just not people. We die.
But the sun is a factory for smashing atoms to exude light and heat and we have evolved to see it and feel it.
We have evolved senses to respond to some of its energies – but only certain wavelengths. We discern colours and warmth but not gamma or X rays.
Our senses are limited. But those rays of light go on for ever. Excited photons chattering in beams of hope.
So – what is real?
