Ponderings.
"Earth's vivacious multitudes have much to teach
and we are but one design of thinking creatures."
Who can imagine how stone feels
as it lies compressed into lumps
of mountainous matter,
does it want to become livelier
fragments again
I wonder ?
Who can realize moon sadness
at being outsted by cloud or sun
before giving full spate to
its own mystic glitter,
does it pale when days' forces
move it away
I wonder ?
Who can register the flighty stress
of one moth making frantic efforts
before dying to catch
a mate, does it perform willingly
by dashing through flame
in last-bid display
I wonder ?
Who can guess a great river's grief
on remembering when it gurgled
with streamish hill-height
before light changed to heavy,
does it cry at its debris
under water
I wonder?
Sages say the spirit may grow through curiosity
and that life is enriched by frequent ponderings
