Do you ever wonder

Do you ever wonder
About what the impossibility of destruction means
How every particle and wave that gives us warmth or love or a gorgeous mountain view
Was once as young as the newborn universe?
About how many lives every atom has lived
Reincarnating, without ever quite knowing how many souls it has built, how many deaths it has seen?
About the utter similarity between absolutely everything when you look close enough or far enough away
A Monet of a world, illusions of difference created with the same dots of energy?
About the fleeting nature of everything we can ever see
The irrelevancy of lifespans in the context of an astronomical collective?
About how every interaction, every touch and thought and overlap of lives
Could feel to the universe the same as holding your own hand?
Do you ever wonder?
