bear-personal sigil- D R Sanford

“…for unless I am myself, I am nobody.” ~ Virginia Woolf

suns collide
planets crash
the universe goes on..

it seems
I am not who I was
yesterday..
today..
tomorrow..

loving elusive freedom
working for a paycheck
sitting calm before
nature’s power
and stillness.

genetics
experience
state of mind and body
the soul knows what it wants

what was my face before I was born?
who will I be after this game is done?

my now is forever
eternity lives in moments
hello to me across the ages
I feel chronivorous¹
eating as many moments
swallowing life
growing-changing-being-loving
all in a single breath
