to be        
do be        
could be        
should be        
might be        
may be        
do be        
is        
         
tear drops        
rain drops        
fall like        
seasons        
fall like        
lifetimes        
come        
and gone
fall like countless
fallen feathers
forever lost
to winds
of timeless time        
lost to rhyme
lost to reason      
when all      
time      
for reason s      
flown      
         
now here        
am i        
standing        
on this        
fragile cusp        
of ripe        
for leaving        
now looking back        
out  o er    
my lonesome life        
i feel        
the heavy        
gravity        
of my        
wearied heart        
as i        
watch        
and see        
through my        
soul s    
one singular eye    
my body        
my ego        
my mind        
my sense        
of identity    
this being    
of self    
i long thought    
i once was    
so effortlessly    
slip off               
let go
and away     
as my        
spirit        
and soul        
slowly dissolve        
and spin        
in a great        
inner whirling        
of centrifugal        
reconstitution        
until they ve    
changed form      
and re congealed    
into        
a new        
more luminous sphere        
as a    
brand new        
living world        
as i        
watch it        
spin off        
and away        
up out into        
the greater        
living universe s        
even greater        
great mystery s        
own great        
beyond        
beyond me        
here now      
as i watch        
and see myself        
within it s        
newly formed        
self contained        
living  conscious        
planet s        
bio luminous    
spiritual form    
as it    
and i    
go silently spinning    
out  up  off        
and away        
like a shining
soul spark light s  
pulsing beacon        
of hope  of light        
of life  of love
shining radiantly      
out into  
great mystery s        
own immeasurable  
great beyond  
spread out before     
and beyond me here now    
where i ll continue  
spinning on    
up  out    
off and away        
into new directions  
of my own        
but    
if not always        
then still        
nonetheless  perhaps        
more often        
than not    
where in either    
case    
i d half expect      
to most likely    
still be misperceived    
and received    
in the same  
old way  
as ever  
as usual    
by most  
which is   
to be    
just as deeply        
misunderstood        
and to feel    
just as alone  
even more so  
now  
than   
i ever felt    
or ever was  
before
way back then
even here now  
at this point  
in my life  
where i presently  
now
still both feel
and experientially know
that i still
consciously live
and exist  
in a much more  
highly evolved  
higher vibrational frequency  
form    
of consciously    
awakened being  
than i was  
even way back  
then  
which i presently  
still yet am  
here now today  
as well
wherein it seems
and feels
to me
like i ve consciously  
come back around
full hoop
full circle  
to this new  
insight s  
not so surprising  
sudden realization  
that even after  
so many
long years  
now passed  
forever lapsed away  
gone  
some things apparently  
never seem
to really change
much at all
when in fact  
and in truth  
the clearer
more evident
more mystical
spiritual
greater truth remains
at the very
same time  
that everything  
yes everything
simultaneously
has
