Eye of the eye

While most tread the beat of the world in tepid motion
 I run in rhythm with its tune.

Thump...
The blood pulses from the vessel above 

Flick...
Rapid motion riddles the melody

Coursing unwavering focus overtakes 
Seeps...
Overcomes...

A fluid of such awakening arrives 
One of awareness so atoned to the world it rotates with the soil of mortality

Heaving heavy breath, in time with waves of wastage.
Drowning the echoes of whispering unbelief  
I rise...

Rise in being
Rise in vitality
Rise in existence 
Soul, spirit, body...

I rise...
I fall...
I live...

I survive in the absence of creed.
