Analysis of Reach Out With Your Spirit
You call it a particle
He calls it a wave
They call it energy
—I call it light
You’re locked in physics
He’s locked in quantum
They’re trapped in theory
—blocking all sight
Let go the dissection
Let go the mechanics
Let go the empirics
—your eyes then to see
Reach out for the music
Reach out for what’s timeless
Reach out with your spirit
—set yourself free
(Villanova University Monastery: June, 2019)
