Tellus Mother Earth: an Epic Poem 3/7

There are things I would never say out loud

Pieces of thoughts come together making me proud.

The ideas are complex, confused, mythical, and scientific

I wonder what readers want to read anything this specific.

Elemental tellurium, nearly 12 billion years old,

arose from a rare, extremely rapid supernova, so the story is told.

Metalloid tellurium produces an electromagnetic current - don’t shiver.

The force flows in the rude shape of the Milky Way's dim lit river.

*

The geomagnetic fields extend from the skies to the inner telluric planets.

The fields change rocks and water. Life adapts where ever it inhabits.

The fields affect fault lines and underground streams.

They are said lead to deformities and knots in trees and bizarre dreams.

Tellurium was discovered in 1782 by the metallurgist, Reichenstein.

It crystalizes with gold, forming the alloy calverite, when they combine.

About 100 years later, a distinguished German metallurgist, Reichenbach,

said, ' magnetism creates an odic life force'. This idea was a shock.

*

His suggestion that rocks can heal was met with scientific peer opposition

but occultists and spiritualists always respected his scientific position.

Finding proof of the secret fire that transforms the planet was hard,

but Tellurium has the dragon current, an induced magnetism, called od.

*

Tellurium forms a self-seeding nano-superstructure, some propose.

Sulphuric acid turns tellurium red. With mercury it forms a rose.

Perhaps Moses' sapphire staff held tellurium. It opened a rock, letting water spring

causing red and white roses to grow on branches of the sweetbriar eglantine.

If you think Science tests myths, this opens another door.

Things get more curious. Read on to Chapter four.
