words

Every moment
In which I refrain
From reaching out
I grow,
Reaching inward
The spirit swells
Against this temporary casing
Until I feel
As though I may burst
Through the shell
Escaping
Issuing out
Back into the wilderness
Of the source

Every breath
I cycle through
Is eternity
All of this
Is forever
As I vibrate
Longingly
Against the greater energy
Waiting to merge
My spirit
To the passing stream
Of every other
