exactly what
part
of this body, this history,
this personality
makes me?
I am earth,
brought to my knees by questions, yet
born of the unknown;
Racked with longing,
subatomic emptiness,
formless passion,
living hopefulness.
That which is beautiful, i cannot
touch, yet feel it,
rising.
I breathe in,
clean air tinged with holiness,
and exhale my human dioxide
into space.
This tree, it breathes
conversely as I
breathe,
this Yin,
all beings-
all who share this experience;
inseperable
drops of creation.

let it
in your life
you will lose your mind
as well as
lovers,
lots of money,
your parents,
possibly
a child
and eventually,
you’ll lose your memory too.
But don’t fret, don’t you count the tears-
life is inexhaustible.
Today is here, and you are not yet
gone.
So open your arms,
own nothing, and thank the miracle
that put you here.
