Sensed in an Object : a wriggling luminescent Jellyfish
Causing waves in a body of water
Is a subjective phenomenon perceived
By an individual mind ; what it is
Like to feel like that, not knowable by any other. There
There is the gap, between the precisely characterisable
And measurable and that pleasurable jerk
Within the Being known by a one and only one.
This, not transferable to another, unlike throwing a ball
From one to another : there lies the mystery.
Beauty construed by the mind
A receptor for stimuli from the gazing eye
Tells the Self that it is a beauteous thing.
That felt sensation, purely an attribute
Of the couched Being of a living Being
In the abstract plane, emanating from
Some configuration of interacting Molecules,
A melodious music not a part of matter, but catalysed
By it; that makes me think that this shapely colourful
All, surfaces up because of existence, not non-existence.
From none, there is a chicken and egg at once
