#804 - who was I before? who am I to be?

who was I before?

who am I to be?

 

tree

star

no ‘I’ played a part

yet we all were there

 

creature in creature

if only you knew my crimes!

 

and before

when I was a part in the waving grass

far on the sea’s floor

 

I take responsibility

 

hover for a lark

imagine!

and give up the ghost again

 

give blood

but not for my country

gather at that sword laid trench

lap like a spectre

 

bright of mind

shall we ask

in these woods

who’s asleep

who’s awake

 

some of this one sun

shone of billions

I am

you too

 

who?

and it hardly matters now

it’s as with all the noise we make

 

and shall we go again?

why not?

as much joy as all else

 

how far away in the story

nor off the wheel

it’s the wheels come off

 

again again

reach to drink the light

 

when I was some part sentience

leap of say, a frog

 

and wonder

where is now?

 

who?

who?

some bird will say

and no one knows which one

I cannot tell you how

 

 

there is some evidence

but it’s just a theory
