Structures of Serenity

Once again. Purple twilight. Edge of a lake. Wind lapping an oscillation of surge. Shadows dancing. Ripples like static. An optical illusion or an ecstasy of overstimulation. If only I could truly comprehend the complex stuctures of such peaceful serenity. Coolness. Rustling of leaves. Rustling of branches. Rustling of the liquid wet pressing itself into the earth. Dimness of mind. Dimness of heart. Dimness of humanity and self. The sound of breath mingling with the natural worldly sigh and murmur. Beautiful sad self-containment etched deeply into the subatomic riddle: Where do I begin and where do I end?

1. 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atom joined by covalent bonds. 2nd oribital electrons seeking a partner and escape from the negative charge of particulate loneliness (aka electronegativity).

2. The churn of chemical equilibrium. The balance of holding on & letting go.

2. The hydrogen bonding of polar water molecules creating suface tension & hydration shells. Invisible barrier between one world and the next. Great divider severing ties.

3. Kinetic energy. The inevitability of change.

4. Vaporization & the airy unbiased spread of heat/passion/love washing in waves from one state of being to the next, leaving coolness behind.
