On Realising


Cobweb-covered fingers:
 
The flesh of eons 

One might think was stone 

As it had always been there,
 
Was in its perfect place.
 
Yet here it breathed, 

Despite the dust settled on its skin 

That changed its sheen 

To a misty mirage. 

Realising its aliveness 

The hand shook off its shroud, 

Danced from still to wild,
 
And though it moved 

Until at last again 

It found stillness, 

It would never go back.
