Something So Elementary

By Joely Ramo

If energy (you) can not be created 
Than energy (you) can not be destroyed because energy (you) are atoms 
and atoms (you) are the basic units of chemical elements 
you are gasses 
you are liquids 
you are solids 

sounds simple 
almost basic… 
yet, this law of nature 
is the most significant affirmation 
to ever exist 

your consciousness 
is simply a collection of atoms 
atoms, whose energy is focused on being “you” 

As fate has it 
The energy of your conscious will disperse and become 
another collection atoms elsewhere 

maybe you will be 
a gust of wind 
a wave in the ocean 
or the seat you sit on 

we return into the world 
as the world once returned into us
