The Heart of One

A New Perspective

Little dewdrop shining bright,
liquid vision
giving sight….

What delights
are held…
…within that crystal globe?

If we peek and peer within
that tiny orb
perched upon the purpled skin,
at the very beating heart
of the succulent,
where each plump leaf
reaches back
to its place of origin….

….can we hope
to perhaps absorb
the wisdom of the multiverses
and the lore,
which we spin —

viewed in our own reflection,
and with our own perspective?

Or can we sense a deeper pulse,
a view beyond our own…
where nature blends and weaves and warps,

and we are all a part of One.
