I, that am, forever still, know –
Of no journey’s start, nor end, nor flight.
Your outspanning wings, measuring the sky,
Swift and slow, slow and swift,
Smiling at the wingless snail treasuring earth;
Both, in smog or dirt, in motion bound
I, that am, forever still, know-
Of no measure, nor motion, neither doing’s undoing.
Bewildered you in your wingedness, the wingless too-
Chained by grooves of motion’s air and earth –
Tossed and twirled and set afire, seemingly so new
To fly on, to plod on, through many a life and birth
I, that am, forever still, know-
Of no air, nor earth, nor life nor birth, still ever new
Speak Your Mind
