One more tearful wish to wishing-well:
one more skipping pebble 'cross the pond
__________________________________________
In algorithmic perpetuity
Do all the motions move about the one
who moves, or seems to shift from bound to free
discovering, at a bound, the joy to run
and revel in the glories of the flesh.
With every other alter, will I merge,
with every option, every burg'ning fact;
every feeling pure — from nature, surge!
With every single creature interact
and spy the resolution of our scene.
See pixelfine dimensions of our world:
shock and shudder, ruminate and roll —
—roiling slow upon the seething sea,
down through humble mud-thatched living hurled,
with, though — all the brilliance of art-soul
brought to strange imprisoned liberty
of sacred step upon each passing plank,
sacred stone downcast in well to sink
to find its subterranean high rank
to cause the softest peace of smoothest plink:
just one more skipping pebble on the pond.
One more tearful wish to wishing-well:
one more skipping pebble 'cross the pond.
