HUGE WINDS

 

Huge winds

And they shape the world

But not me

For I am immutable

Because the “I” is beyond material

There is no fabric

No belonging to any organic base

Reduced to electrons

Seduced by molecules

Built by atoms and co-valent bonds

Sourced from the elements

Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and such

Until the chemistry was fully known

But it never touched me

Because the “I” is beyond the story

Which washes us in emotion

And boils us in logic

Desiccates us in the material world

         But we float above

         Each of us a spirit

         Founded in love

         Our parents gathered their will

         Took us to adulthood

         And perished on the wheel

         Of fortune and fate

Now the long bow sings

An arrow pure and distinct

Punctures the heart

Of an unseen lover

Whose artery bursts

And sends its eternal message –

I give, so that you can live                                                    210118.1
