A whirlpool develops around my heart,
As I watch on;
A kaleidoscope of monarch butterflies dances over her like a crown
In honour or celebration
Of a blessing from the lord of life
The rarest of sights: a natural apparition
Am I witnessing the missing link,
Between man and nature?
Then she sees me with those perfect eyes
And I felt myself being pulled into their centre
Under those green whirlpools
Into the eclipses at their centre
Only, I did not wish to come back up for air
If what I’d be coming up for;
Is a life before I witnessed that remarkable sight,
And what it means for all life.

Nature nor Nurture
If the true default of man is chaos,
And all the artificial laws in the world are to reign in this nature,
Is not the real idol worthy of worship in this world: opportunity?
And, common courtesy:
To do with it what you will in good faith rather than ill will.
Dew
Dew drops on flowers,
Nestling like pebbles,
Waiting for the sun to call them back to the sky,
Till then:
Specks of sunlight sparkle,
Like chinks of light through magnifying, opaque, glass baubles,
Oh, what an absolute marvel!
Biding their time until these perfect dew drops are no more!
