Within the silent realms of life, they dance,
Minute architects of our existence, unseen,
Building blocks of all that breathes and grows,
In every creature, their essence is gleaned.

A nucleus commands with unseen grace,
Mitochondria spark the fires of energy,
Ribosomes, the artisans of protein lace,
Together, they craft life’s grand symphony.

Through membranes, the world is filtered fine,
Selective gates that guard and maintain,
Cytoplasm’s sea where reactions intertwine,
A bustling city within, never mundane.

In every cell, a story untold,
Of resilience, of harmony, of endless quest,
Life’s smallest wonders, both fragile and bold,
In their tiny world, our fate is expressed.
