– Anichya (Impermanence) –
I am returning to the roots of my journey.
I am reaching out towards the light
which comes to me from the other side.
Yet I write my words in cover of darkness
to hide my truth from my own reading.
I live in fear of turning that brilliant light
back to shine upon myself.
Within this tomb I have thrived,
through love and a life in giving,
despite all of these years in disregard of waste,
within the wanting of substance so casually abundant,
despite the rawness of time spent away
in hardships of my own making.
