The Mist

I am who I am

To reach for the stars

To crumble to the earth

To feel life with every stretch

With every reach

Inside my being, filling me

Taking over my life

Swallowing my perception, losing myself in its nature

Our nature

The exhilaration of life and death

And sandwiched in between, I don’t know

Lost and alone

What is all this?  Who are all these people?  Where is this place?

I am space but matter is all you see

My victories a simple mist in your world

Love ceaselessly crawls to the surface

My face hidden, my nature revealed

You will never know

How can I explain?  Why would I?

And each morning the mist makes way to your defined reality

And I am forgotten
