Theme: A liaison of quixotic prose and imagery portraying and personifying the Higher Self and Nature's eternal moment in transient temporality.

Thus, a transformational and subjective experience where, again, the witness melds with objective reality, both the seen and unseen, as well as the temporal and eternal.
