Imperceptible Shift

The invisible flicker
of flame in the wicker
though there is no cause
for the pulse to pause
is cognised in aloneness 
whilst in silence & stillness 

We do not wish to hide
yet cannot confide
as the happening too subtle
translation impossible
shift being inner 
outer mundanity dimmer
