Solar Cells
(click title for audio)

in every tree and bush, each plant
in each leaf light has a chance
to photosynthesize, be changed
into plant foods in a strange

sub-microscopic unseen way
with necessary links to stay
alive upon the planet Earth
where sunlight has given birth

to all of us, everywhere
all the time while unaware
that we're connected to the Sun
we're made from light, we are one

with every tree and bush, each plant
with atmosphere in motion's chant
as photosynthesis takes place
while we're moving through deep space

spiraling through magnetic fields
in the Sun's embrace which yields
to the power of what's unseen
like each leaf that's ever been

where photosynthesis takes place
where light becomes the food we taste
where we are always in between
where we're going and where we've been...
