The Whole

Mixed I am
Together I'm not
Split apart
In union I aspire

To flow into the universe
Without which keeps us
In check and constrained
We Nova, in Supreme knowledge.

Starlight binds us
Matter frees us
Gravity keeps us sober
In Sun we indulge.

To be burnt by knowledge
Yet be dulled by distance
In the dark places of matter
Behind the brightness.

Life forever after
Death we never grasp at
Existence hard to prove
We kick our shoes.

Arise

I spiral down
Towards the ground
There I lie sprawled
In the dirt.

A glimmer of hope
Sparks of possibility
Low horizon elevates
From here it only rises

There is a glimmer
Hope, springs eternal
My eyes may open
On golden shores.
