MY BEING

There’s an exceptional being in me,

a loving, passionate, and marvelous being.  

I’m the end that started time,

and the tiny bond where all collides.  

The universe is inside me,

so I exist in the same space.  

All that is, is all, and all is complete—

the beautiful piece of a wonderful me.  

MIRRORLESS UNIVERSE

Oh vast and mighty universe!

Why can’t you hear me when I command you?

Is it that I’m not strong or good enough for you to feel me?

Or am I not worthy of your attention to please me?  

Full of joy, I hope that things will flow as I designed,

that everything will be as I dream or imagine.

But in frustration, I receive my worst desires—

the opposite of what I always wanted.  

There must be some kind of mistake,

something misplaced in my tricky head.

If I’m not who I should be,

then I have to forget all my beliefs.  

So there you go, fantastic universe:

there’s no more faith for you in me,

only the void for all my wishes,

a hazy mirror that once I’ve seen.
