even the most chaotic phenomena have pattern

through the swirling eddies of poetry
this finger traces arcs, determines flux
and stamps the mighty print of science
on the sublime, the sacred,
making the beautiful intelligent
and demanding that intelligence
have a place in all things

to cling to the indescribable
is mumbling nostalgia
for the power of mysticism
and its overbearing dominance
over the lives of women and men

poetry can lead to truth
it can describe all things
and make all things beautiful
but only under the guidance
of intelligence
only under the smiling hand
of science
