You spin
In the panorama
Opening inward
To see yourself
Blessing and curse
Better or worse
A spectacular horizon of potential
Inverse
You are tiny
You are giant
You are resistant
You are compliant
You are a coward
You are defiant
You are the grand poobah
Of nothing
You are the stream rushing
To be still
You are a creature without power
Imagination or will
You are a god
In human form
Mortal vessel
You must kill
To be free
You are you
You are me
You are the cup of coffee
That wishes it were a cup of tea
You are the one
Who is grateful
You are the one
Mired in spite
You are the last blush of the day
You are the first dark fingers of the night
Opening your hand
You are ridiculous
You are a divine command
You are quick to judge
Slow to forgive
Desperate to understand
I know
I know who you are
Because I meet you there
Where I am also
All and none of these things
Those things
Those prisons
Those castles
Those smoke rings
We appear
In consciousness
Rising
To fall
All things that come
Must also go
Must also crawl
We can only suspect
We can never know
We close our eyes
We breathe
We trust
We are stars
We are darkness
We are fire
We are dust
