The World In Which We Are

We'll air our souls out onto this wind

That curls our matter to its own behest. 

Soothed we are in our damned microcosm 

Of a life that we will someday be. 

 

How large we feel in being so small;

A speck with ineffable wonder. 

Hurried and stagnant, brittle and bold;

Sourcing meaning from any creation. 

 

What words to define those moments unmeasured

By the constraints we warp to ground our minds?

These puny freedoms we allow ourselves

When we wonder upon what is. 

 

But before we retreat back into the mind

To fret over the days to come,

Know you may revisit at any time,

Return to a knowing most honest.
