To Awaken


/November sun gleams near the horizon.
/Jay preens her azure wing.
/Earthworm noses deeper into the root bed.
/What remains but worship?
/
/Surrender this morning. Forsake slumber.
/O great and non-existing God,
/Thou wraith of wind, without substance,
/O silent voice that whispers everything,
/
/Including me.
/Outside time, outside space, inside all,
/Including me.
/Small, shrinking, my heart in shambles,
/
/I know nothing but you.
/Everywhere I look,
/I find nothing but you.
/Each star and creature
/
/Trembles with your sweet immortal poetry.
/To listen is to awaken.

    At the ethereal ball
    of all vibrations
    the chance brings together
    sounds, and glimmers, and rough waves
    and sometimes chance sprawls
    consumed in a puddle,
    leaving the waves dancing
    along the string
    of resonance
    to clay out
    a new piece of matter
    to drop down
    on this old crust of the Earth…
