NaPoWrMo #14: Celebrating World Quantum Day

 April 13, 2026, in honor of World Quantum Day, I can’t speak to Planck’s Constant, but I can talk about what light is to me.

 A Few Light Thoughts

Light is represented

in more ways than I could name

It is wavelengths

It is particles

It can blind

Or be not seen

With the naked eye

Some light reveals

Unseen evidence

Of bodily fluids

Or a certain ink

That is a secret

Message for

the one searching

Light can be the show

or set the mood

discovering a character

Sunshine is vital

to grow all the right things

Yet, it can scorch the earth

devastating everything

that dares to reach

towards the sun

It is life and death

It is unveiling and obscuring

It is scientifically explained

It will forever be a mystery

It is the thing we know

is at the end of that tunnel

and fills us with hope

as we run forever towards it
