Eternal Aliveness 
 
Just a little focus 
And the thing shines 
It appears to exist apart from all else 
Suddenly it has a past history 
It has causes and interactions 
It has reasons and futures 
A density 
A beauty 
An aliveness 
The thing is alive when I focus on it 
My focus is its aliveness 
And yet the focus cannot be mine 
Because it surprises me 
Suddenly it appears 
The focus is eternal 
As is its endless creation of aliveness
