the creation of the question

It grew slowly
Atom by atom
Curving its serpentine line
Around a doubt
The sickle that mows down everything
Like a lily
It roused itself to life
Unfurling into reason’s limbo quietly
And it left in its wake
A single teardrop
A tiny pin-prick of dew
A dab of salt
That minute mirror
Begetting wonder
