Stirring

Your face captures a glimpse

of the snow covered mountains.

An instant momentum comes to fore,

quandary lurks, borders settle.

Fully in tune now,

feeling a mammoth expansion

embracing the universe.

The sun sets in your body,

constellations reflect

the sprouting of shrubbery,

leaves turning brown,

in this cosmic cycle of life.
