it's elegant, hidden from the world
unseen
unknown
unexplained
until
knowledge finds it
and curiosity seeks to bring it to light--
observation strips away mysticism
leaving the holder naked
(a piece of soul showing)
and it can never slip behind the veil again
That which can be destroyed and never restored must be preserved. Secrets, rainforests, art...
The title of this poem was inspired by quantum physics (duh.) Inside the atom, an electron is in a quantum state: both wave and particle, unknown until we look. A secret is like that, too--magical until it's exposed.
