Mathematics

poem by: Jose Valladares
Written on Jan 28, 2017

While listening to Wagner 
Pondering and thinking about numbers

Solving, analyzing, memorizing
For a second an amazing feeling arose

I stopped and said "Can it be?"
I said "Yes, it is so"

I paused

An amazing feeling one can perceive when doing mathematics, 
As I hold my thoughts together I perceive time to slow down.

My breathing stopped for a second
Wagner' pilgrim's chorus slow down

Time for a moment became independent
An identity controlling every activity of my doing

For once I can see time and thought are somehow related
