My life is not mine
It belongs to them
The creators of peace and
The creators of wisdom

It is a paradigm
That ends until now
The time of then is now
And the time of now is then

It interplays and mingles
With the eternity of life
All of which is a sad but
True collage of existence

Strung together through
One divine inspiration
One mind
One eye

One creator
One god
One you
And one me

My life is not mine
It is their to do with as they please
I am only a witness to the destruction
Of chaos and winter

Storms of billowing clouds
Thunder overhead
And rain down eternity
And rain down bliss and

Happiness

Is but a far and distant galaxy spiraling
Off into the center of a symbiotic
Womb of creation myth
And asymmetrical rhythm of pulse and beat

And time and space are but one
Allowance of rotation and movement
One justification for bringing
Life to this soul

This body
This being
This entity
This vapor

This mist
This invisible
Self
That is

My life is not mine.
