The double helical coil of life
DNA, encrypted
Simmers
the commensurable,
yet impenetrable essence
the Gestalt of all that’s live.
The maze in the brain
Neural networks, encoded
Taunts
the imposing façade of
irreducible complexity,
near chaotic, alive, conscious.
Though, it is
that iridescent black pebble
smooth, oblong
on the river bank
that fills me with a longing
for a life, experienced, not observed.

Very well written. Lovely contrast (but not) between the pulsating with life DNA and the apparently lifeless pebble.
Thanks Smriti.
