Amo(u)rphous lives

I wish there were mysteries in the obvious

And sense refrained from making sense;

I wish patterns didn't succumb to laws,

But intersected their own evolution - like us.


Or rather, as we used to do

Before it all came crashing down,

And turned amorphous.

Apply your quench, bring out the toolbox,

Make your measurements 

For we have aged, like broken things do.


What of this new discovery, I wonder!

Magnets, frozen like forgotten melodies 

Disorder, wavelengths and relaxation -

Nothing that I haven't heard of, or ignored.

And yet, through a series of holocausts 

Love and life find a way; a common way.


Tomorrow, we dive deeper; into the madness 

Of memories and promises; stability and vortices 

To seek further, to seek nothingness 

To answer 

Unwarranted self doubts and the same grievances.


To tomorrow, we toast; To tomorrow, we pray 

Tomorrow never comes but you have, today.
