Is it possible from this rank earth for such flowers to grow?
Yet here they are, positing their glory for the world to see
A speculative assumption uncertain of its predication
That out of this sodden ground, mulched by weather
The boggy stink of which permeates the air
Blooms would appear from unseen dimensions
To cluster in diamond silk, emitting starry transactions
Their thrusting ebullience beyond science, even wonder
Simple testimony of leaf, stalk and flower, to primum movens*
Of power ingrained elementally to be, just be
And being, yearn hungrily for the Light that clothes it.
*primum movens (Latin): Aristotelian term for the “unmoved mover”

I love the message in your poem. Life finds a way in the most unlikely places. Daoism has a term that is similar to primum movens, called wei wu wei (acting without acting.)

Lisa, thank you. Nature teaches us so much: I’m going to enjoy contemplating the meanings the Daoist term implies. Food for thought 😀
