Quantum Praise

I resolved to pay attention to a glimmer from your eye

That made me think I saw a wink and wave as you passed by;

I measured my perception and a particle of fact

Became the information that my consciousness had lacked.

I offered my awareness of the message that you sent,

And took the risk of disambiguating what you'd meant.

I wanted to determine if your "yes" I'd ever know,

But doubted that your beauty, once distilled, could tell me so.

Pursuing ever deeper, I tried hard to tease apart

The substance of the figure that was calling to my heart.

I sought to differentiate your meaning for my brain,

But though I'd grasped your digits, I pursued your soul in vain.

Releasing, then, my need to know exactly where you stood,

I finally admitted, I just know that you are good,

And swoon from all the artistry I watch where you create,

While choosing praise and wonder for my role in our shared fate.
