Thanks for sharing this with me, Lucien. I did enjoy it very much. Reminds me a little of a book I read recently, "The Universe in a Single Atom" by the Dalai Lama. Sometimes, I go to the Museum of Natural History in NYC, and walk the respective halls to pass through time, from earliest life to the fishes to the dinosaurs to the Ice Age mammals, and I just stand in wonder of it all, how it all came to pass that these things gave way, these wondrous things, and here I stand, with the sentience to take it in. It is mind-boggling. I think that maybe this is similar to what you were trying to capture here?
You have a great voice for reading aloud, too, and a nice cadence.

Oh cool! I listened to it. It was awesome! I didn't know you could do things like that! I like the poem itself too. Anyway all in all, it was really good!
