Analysis of Emergence Sublime
Existential—transcendent,
my words free to leave
Though rooted inside me,
their seeds He conceived
They shape and they fashion,
a will of their own
Each moment unfastened,
a prison disowned
Existential—transcendent
they come and they go
In dreams they lie dormant
my garden to hoe
I live in the knowledge,
past matter and time
These words my salvation
—emergence sublime
