Awakening

 

When the body latches on to greater reality

The mind aware

A stillness floats amidst chaos

Gradually dawn outlines trees from sky

In shades of grey deepening in colours

Startled peahen startles lapwing

Then the calls of awakening

Mussaenda frondosa

Mussaenda frondosa stands out

In the gradient green of the forest

It staked chlorophyll for spirit of the trees

Alive at the slightest breeze

To flutter, to fly

Alight everywhere  

Goldilocks zone

A wave of cicadas’ calls

Drones and relapse into itself

In a monotone of urgency and wait

It surfs in the ocean of noise

Scanning to synchronize

Swirling static from outer space

Brimming into the not yet known

A primal energy probing the possible    

Mindful desire

You think you are watching

A probability cloud of electrons

Orbiting the nucleus

Or a distant galaxy

Where stars are born and die

Elements created and matter made

Alates swarm swirl fluorescent orb

Aflame all at once

Timed from depth of the earth

Pulsating in an immense liveliness

It is not gravity

It is not electrostatic

It is desire that holds the center
