Analysis of Grew, Grown-Growing
Eugene L. Essex 1981 (Cape Town)
Sometimes I look around
And around I look
Seeing everything of this nothing
Hearing all this silence
No one to talk to or listen to
Just like the tree,
Unfolding beauty,
Breaking out of this darkness stiffness
Why, how, and yet un-fold, ING-on and in
To, that and this, yet, wait, now not yet later
And soon, when
All is re-, all is ah, wow,
When, awaken-Ed, arisen-ed,
Beautifully fully complemented
Completely,
Yet, yet, still, nothing
Silent, all around empty
But you, but I,
And yet. Us.
Forever.
No end always.
Full
One.
