No Ego

linear formation dominantly prominent
without a co-responding female circling
inflowing/outgrowing concomitance
I could not know severance bipolar
of either/or discursive logic
without feeling round wombed dipolar
environmental both/and nurturing
spiraling positive reiteration
revolving rounds of communication
seasonally developing
ecological peak nurturing communion

The March equinox ushers spring
Mating urges to mammals brings
Nightingale melody sings
Greener is forest foliage
Eyes gleam, irrespective of age
As life reveals, a new page
Liken spring to inflowing breath
Free from clutches of winters death
Heavens shower hidden wealth
With Schumann resonance rising
In spring, hearts begin brightening
Play of nature, delighting

With shadows of high clouds floating around.

It’s the fount that keeps the water inflowing.
(Tran.)
Waves in my mind
Music in the soul of forest
Naturally inflowing
Soothing pain
patterns of reflection
Ringing in the core of mind
