Be who you are, not who you think
expand and you will see who I see
I don’t always see you
but do you ever
if you do, why do you not stay
in the light, seeing all of you
parts make up a whole
but the whole can never be parted
I challenge you, see more
so I too, can follow behind you
and see myself
knowledge is only the start
it was first
knowledge applied is the incarnation of life
so living must be an act of wisdom
though experienced and reserved only for the wise
something in you said “go,
and become”
for you never left
you only expanded
do not fear expansion
become truth,
boundless and all
knowing, found in one’s survival
wisdom, found in all which exists
life, the center of the two
live.
