Is This How Creation Came to Be?

A Poem from a quantum view

Our measure of Time is arbitrary, artificial
We measure the rate of vibration of a molecule
and divide that natural cycle into equal parts.

Arbitrary and artificial because time is a mere
progression of moments and a moment only flows
like water, it cannot be grasped, divided or held.
It does not, and cannot, stop.

Because a moment is already the Past.

This non-moment is the only moment
This non-time, the only time we have
Cannot exist if now is defined by then, and when
Because what we call “then”
Did not exist, then and will not, when.

Time is a force, one side of the coin
A measure of distance
And distance requires Space,
The other side of the coin.

Space is movement, motion
And Movement, with Time, is Creation.
Time with Space expands the universe
Into greater being.
