Soil, sea, sun, rain, sky ...
Five Elements embracing,
Intertwined in mind.
Unfathomable Matrix;
Scaffolds on scaffolds

Grounded in Otherness.
Below sky, gardener, bees, soil,
seeds, leaves, stems, roots, water...
Below wet cells embraced,
Below atoms dancing on Energy...

Deeper and deeper below
Into What?
A Plenitude, a sacredness.
Emptiness in full bloom.
- Mike Garofalo, #2763
