Inspired Quintains

A Consciousness, so vast and deep,

In every living thing does sleep.

No speck it misses,

From starlit kisses,

Its quiet watch it always keeps.

A presence felt, not just in me,

But in the flower, and the tree.

It's all around,

On hallowed ground,

A boundless, shared reality.
