Sine Waves

Sinuous, even the name
Undulates ~~~
Patterns on the page,
Expressing some Mathematical Proof,
Pattern revealing some
Algebraic Reality.

Daughter, tell me
The usages you make:
Does it test the
Equation?
Do you find
Fulfillment
When the pattern
Falls correctly into place?

Me, I see only
The even sighing of tides,
Or breathing
Of the universe ~~
Blind to the
Mathematical Revelation.
