this unfurling



the very big
and the very small
the unknowing
and the knowing
the oblivious
and the entirely aware
are all meeting
side-by-side -
sometimes wrapped around each other
in a dance
of consonance and dissonance

each finding its place
in the turning of this great place

-

you wonder
as you look about you

you wonder about choices

who was i then
and why am i me now?

who holds the purse strings on the expense account of my soul

is there reason
to all of this
or am i perhaps
asking too much of a process
that is so clearly so much larger than the life one man
can describe in words or pictures?

letting what will be
be

a request
that asks more than i might be capable of
and yet there it is
in the form of an unfurling sky

To be or not to be ... the older I get, the more it seems they are one and the same.

The first verse speaks out particularly .. and beautifully .. and certainly unfurls with the sky.

I agree with Reya Steven.
