Analysis of Discovery
I sing
this morning
like a carefree bird
tossing leaves and stones
in my wake
with abandon
drawing tinsels of air
smoke curled
adorning my notes
piping through
the honeycombed veil
through which
I glimpsed
by the conversant gaze
of your percipient eyes
brushing aside
the forest debris
drawing me
to that self-same glance
of antiquity
where essence bears
its inchoate seed
the dissertation of
Infinity
The tractate with creed
I am you
You are me
