Preserver of Life
Major elements like the sun and moon are circular
the flowers, the mountains and the skies
have colours symbolic of their identity
be it odours or aromatic matter.
Organic substance or basic scenting beings
register their presence through the sensation of smell.
Here is an existence without shape
to enable the accommodation of other actualities.
It is also without colour
such neutrality shows an appreciation to the births of nature
and not bothered by the luxury of scents
b’cos its long been alive to by-pass such sensation
to get along with all those who are at least physical.
Tasteless, odourless, colourless and shapeless
but it gives out freshness, fullness and soundness.
What else could it be
if not the universal liquid which preserves life.
