Panta rei, everything flows. This poetry takes me to Eraclitus, one of my favorite philosophers. I love the awakening from the third stanza onward. The personification is smooth and I think that your choice of adopting a third person suits perfectly with your vivid style. There are so many simplifications to which our human nature forces us when we want to describe what surrounds us. Often, the same language is so faulty to reach its purpose. Your poetry makes me reflect on consciousness as an indescribable stream. One that eludes every attempt of portrayal in the simplified form of one single static frame. Every theory is always a simplification.. take Hegel for example, why the process of thesis antithesis and syntesis has to be tri-partite? We really like the number 3 because it suits to our brain. Couldn't we speak of a dialectic process in 3.5 or 4 or pi different moments instead?
