Scientist Seeking

If you feel like you are spiraling out of control

Oh, Darling,

You are living the very pattern of existence

you are part of this twirling dance

the golden ratio of trials and tribulations

every heartbreak and joy,

every pain and mirth

All the sadness and grief and laughter and love

building layer on layer,

each affecting the next

making it bigger

a more elaborate picture

a mesmerizing design

The swirl of a storm

of a seashell

of sunflower seeds and pinecone walls

of the soft tendrils of ferns

of a distant galaxy far away

of the nucleotides in your DNA

Darling, you are everything

These dark days are but a number in a sequence

building to your marvelous
