Circadian

Man scours the land

With mind and hand

Seeking to understand

Trying to distill an essence

As common as sand

Beyond mere words

Known to fish and birds

From ant colony to elephant herd

Subtle but certain

An unfelt vibration

The unheard ticking of a natural clock

A living connection

Unseen by eyes

Nor spoken by tongue

Nor heard by straining ear

Only felt in the heart

A flower opens

A wolf howls

A leaf falls

A worm crawls

Water flows

Wind blows

Snow falls

Men crawl
