Potential- is What Created the Universe

Quark- a word from Alice in Wonderland

Is applied to subatomic particles

That aligns in a specific manner, a pattern

That forms the nuclei of all atoms.

And even those tiny quarks have smaller parts

With names such as Charm and Strange

To reflect their uncanny properties.

Those smallest particles have a fleeting life, though

More potential than substance

Like sparks in the dark, they have no inherent existence.

They rise spontaneously, seemingly at random.

Yet, they flash in and out of existence as needed

From the field of energy that underlies all creation

There is nothing random about it.

Is it not possible that all of creation

That life itself is a series of patterns

Drawn from that same energy matrix,

That field of potential?
