Wet leaves swim in the breeze;
everything is as it is, yet
nothing is ever how it seems:
As green falls to greet deep substance,
far above the breathing trees,
birds oscillate through waves unseen;
insects teem, mammals dream
& Gaia abounds with
collective recollections echoing
through space & time.
Ceaseless interaction,
constant inconstancy & change;
the finitude that births infinity;
all that is beyond me, just as
there is an outer limit to all things,
beyond which others limits persist:
the world consists of what
does & does not exist.
* Ludwig Wittgenstein
