and so
right in front of me a salty leaf embraces the light
it and the light are one happening
it and the light and I are one happening
this one happening is embracing the light
but so much more as well
the leaf is an idea of the light
or maybe the light is an idea of the leaf
regardless they are both my idea of themselves
but so much more as well
somehow – no, it is spaceless –
somewhere – no, it is timeless –
is an idea of me
do I have that idea, or does it have me?
regardless, we both have each other
but so much more as well
I’m fading into myself
I peer deeply into my peering
I am my own peer, mirrored across the threshold of myself
looking and looked, embracing and embraced
and so much more as well
now the leaf is looking at me
it embraces my embracing
it’s striving becomes my becoming
one happening is happening newly
like the leaf itself
but so much more as well
we are seeing with one bright seeing
because the light sees through my eyes
sees the Earth rise up in my hands
tastes the air on my lips
and so much more as well
out of the nowhere the light and I are born
out of no-where the leaf and the light and the love between us is born
and borne through me we see what seeing sees in the spaces in between
and so much more as well
and so much more as well
