The Universal Essence through the Spirit in nature plays and experiments with the elements, seeing and listening through them and moving and acting, wondering what to create next, like a scientist in a lab. I would like to share a poem I wrote on the dynamic elements:
E L E M E N T A L
The Lake
Reflecting the blue sky
Must be able to see
Countless trees
And the snow capped peak
Complete
Like images
In the eye.
Feed the fire
That must eat
To stay alive,
Reaching out for paper
Growing high
On juicy camphor,
Licking one more morsel
Of sumptuous wood,
Or quietly
On a wick
Of staple oil
Like a butterfly,
Then getting wild
On petrol
Out of control
Like shrill cicadas
Calling in summer.
The wind
Moving invisibly,
What is it
Stirring the oceans so,
Bending trees,
Becoming a genie
In a whirl -a-gig.
Rocks and trees
In recording facts
Have the first stirrings
Of memory
and
A dislodged stone
Begins to roll
Looking like a wheel
Made up of running feet
And the mountains
Posture and gesture
With a great limb
Touching the toe,
A pensive chin
Looking into the horizon,
Stony head turning
To meet your eye .
Unfinished models
For the making,
Built by fire and water
And wind
