Heisenberg decrees
the quantum vacuum #thrums
God's cosmic music
#vss365 #haiku #thrum
Even at absolute zero or in deep space, the quantum vacuum isn’t empty, zero‑point energy makes it seethe with fleeting virtual particles, tiny fluctuations that shape forces and the universe itself.

nor
compulsion cloud
my pure intent

malady mask
my constant care
nor
sickness shroud
the fondness i bear

#cusp of creation
photons freed from plasma's grasp
universe blazes
#vss365 #haiku
380,000 yrs after the Big Bang, the universe had cooled enough for the electron/proton plasma to form neutral hydrogen; no longer scattered, photons streamed freely through newly transparent space.

your smile is but a #ruse
a carefully-crafted countenance
that veils the hurt inside
how i yearn to ease your pain
and banish the burden of sorrow
you have long-carried in silence
yet i stand helpless to comfort
watching in quiet desperation
with frustration gnawing my soul

laughter drifts away
like petals borne on soft wind
echoes of friendship
that slipped from my clumsy grasp
#heartfelt affection remains

#unmissable loss
wraps the night in brittle chill
i whisper your name
but darkness swallows my voice
under stars' pitiless gaze
