I love the eclectic allusions of the first poem. Perhaps you already know of it, but allow me to quote the Chandongya Upanishad as well:
Bring me a fruit from the nyagrodha tree.
Here it is, sir.
Break it. What do you see?
Seeds, father, all exceedingly small.
Break one. What do you see?
Nothing at all.
That hidden essence you do not see, dear one,
From that a whole nyagrodha tree will grow.
I hadn't seen this before, diolch yn fawr :)
