Flow

I watched a glass goblet clean itself in patience of beauty

The tingling ring in sparkle water

was the evidence

of the slow unfurl of a flower

I imagined a symphony of open palms

swaying

spreading winged tips

flowing blankets of kindness 

caressing 

golden light that never flames

but shines


The measure of humanity

clearly defined

Don't worry about moving past it. The write words will come when they're ready, and you'll be pleased at how good they'll be.
