Flatline
We look up, we look down, we look left, we look right, our eyes move, but do we truly see
the world
a sphere of wonder, of beauty
to a child
Yet for us, we see only
the screen, the figure, the aura, we sense it; the sum of one’s parts in a tenth of a second before
glancing back down
Nature’s first green is gold
The shifting of creatures in autumn, what a beautiful transition
for nature
Yet for us, we see only
impending doom of applications, scores and scores of “stuff” to learn, scribbles to memorize
no transformation in these creatures
We are unity
We feel deeply
Yet, we allow the nature to sink to the background
seeing not what our body cries out for
needs
but we prioritize
over our very heartbeat
Until it
drums
no
