Quantum Paradox – a poem by Glenn Wright

 Quantum Paradox

Love is spooky action at a distance.
Just noticing me, you will change my spin.
I, sensing you, can put up no resistance,
but turn to meet your gaze, yang to your yin.

So is our strange entanglement a proof
that love is God, and that He’s near and far—
unseen but irresistible, aloof.
To pluck a flower is to trouble a star.

Our love, unbounded by the speed of light,
can fill the boundless cosmos with its might.
