One

A mirror in time my life has become

The doors to my soul open wide

What couldn’t I be, what couldn’t I find

When boundaries fell to the side.

Could someone break in? Could someone intrude?

They could if they managed to find

A way to withstand, a way to push through

The waves of my soul flowing out.

It’s hard to protect, it’s hard to conceal

The wind that is sweeping the field

The drop of perfume that fell in the sea

And mingled its essence with it.

I fit in the world as I always did

If that is a reference at all

They’re cut from its fabric, my strength and my wit

We share the same body and soul
