The Person

That I know.

Having a sense of sentience
Acceptance and association
Closeness, rapport, and attachment
Fellowship and affiliation.

These are the ingredients.
That fills my heart with joy.
And as part of my beginning
I learned this when I was a boy.

Collateral I’ve collected
Whilst walking down life’s track
All added to the tapestry.
As swift seasons hurry back.

They’ve become part of my being.
A part of what I’m allied to
From deep introspection
To a wide and open view.

Part of me belongs to you.
Another to the breeze
The love I have for nature
And the beauty in the trees.

Another part dwells within
My anima and spirit of adventure
And stays within my heart and soul.
All places that I venture

The feeling is about dealing
A place where I like to go
And be at home with myself
The person that I know.
