Looking inside

CCTV peering beneath skin and bone;

Electrons invading, exploring and slicing,

Axially tomographed sagittaly,

Revealing secrets already known to you:

A foreigner straining

The serenity of wholeness.

 

All-seeing One

Who makes molecules from atoms,

Tissues from cells, with enzymes and endocrines,

Read now the prayer of the heart

And let them see what you see -

The invader dissolved

And peace restored.

 

November 2010

Written in the anxiety of awaiting scan results, and dedicated to friends experiencing such uncertainty now.
