I seek other
To discover
Self
To discover
Self
Not because I am so small
But because existence
Is very, very big
So I remind myself
I am not in the world
I am not of the world
I am the world
And it is me
Sometimes
I think
The road unknown
Explores as much
The me I do not know
Which is all the more enticing
Than the me I believe is me
After a while
All anyone sees of me
Is the walls
After a while
All that is left of me
Is the walls
Not the horizon
Where there is only
More water
And more land
As I turned
My mind to it
It rose
And rose again
Into a mighty fire
Startled
I turned away
Tamped it down
Put it away
Returning to my quiet
