Natural Science

[1. Tide Pools]

When the ebbing tide retreats
Along the rocky shoreline
It leaves a trail of tidal pools
In a short-lived galaxy

Each microcosmic planet
A complete society
A simple kind mirror
To reflect upon our own

All the busy little creatures
Chasing out their destinies
Living in their pools
They soon forget about the sea...

Wheels within wheels in a spiral array
A pattern so grand and complex
Time after time we lose sight of the way
Our causes can't see their effects

[2. Hyperspace]

A quantum leap forward
In time and in space
The universe learned to expand
The mess and the magic

Triumphant and tragic
A mechanized world out of hand
Computerized clinic
For superior cynics

Who dance to a synthetic band
In their own image
Their world is fashioned
No wonder they don't understand

[3. Permanent Waves]

Science, like nature
Must also be tamed
With a view towards its preservation
Given the same

State of integrity
It will surely serve us well
Art as expression
Not as market campaigns

Will still capture our imaginations
Given the same
State of integrity
It will surely help us along

The most endangered species
The honest man
Will still survive annihilation
Forming a world

State of integrity
Sensitive, open and strong
Wave after wave will flow with the tide
And bury the world as it does

Tide after tide will flow and recede
Leaving life to go on as it was...
