Star studded evening 
 
Speckled diamonds gleaming. 
 
From morning to evening 
 
Stars glistening in geometry's meaning. 
 
Euclid to Euripades 
 
From ages past, deciphering 
 
The dark velvet sky shimmering. 
 
The hard work of extrapolating meaning, 
 
Befitting mankind's evolving. 
 
Converging science, math, and thinking 
 
To the center of the sphere 
 
Which is never ending. 
 
Beauty wears such seductive masks. 
 
Then deduce you must 
 
The equations which lead 
 
To your own revelations 
 
Of beauty unmasked. 
 
Passion and math although seemingly separate, 
 
Algebraiclly interwoven, and deeply connected. 
 
This language of math, 
 
This language of life, 
 
This language of love, 
 
Is at the core of each being. 
 
What fosters the pursuit of knowledge?

Ranchod: Convergence
To bequeath life with an eternal meaning? 
 
Look again at one plus one. 
 
Ponder for the time being, 
 
The answers lie in the depths 
 
Of the most impossible equation; 
 
The infinite residing 
 
Within this finite being.
