Happy Anniversary (week 52)

Happy Anniversary (week 52)

I brought you particles of dark matter, and a pair of mirror sunglasses.  Individual DNA sequencing to be performed by synchronised swimmers in the Atlantic, away from the wind.  I asked for a photograph of microbial life, to show it as a universe with its own unique star constellations, and milky ways in your coffee.

I brought you a measure of time, with four napping atoms.  I brought you colourless crystals found in the woods next to moss. I brought you two simple breaths, first in and then out again.

I brought you a dream.

I counted the seconds of a sun set, notes from a cello, a bird song and a pigeon feather.  I brought you grief you can manage and pain you live beside.

I brought you sadness you can sing about and a heart that feels.  I brought you the smell of cherry blossom returning and the salt from the sea. I brought you a smile from an old friend and the type of joke, only they could tell.

Happy Anniversary.

The magic of a daffodil and the wonder that the world spins.

I brought you gravity.
