On Being

Why do I listen,

To the wind of others,

Whose words are spoken,

To create, to breathe?

It is that without them,

I lose my purpose,

My view obscures,

Goes slack, I grow lost.

With them, I aspire,

I push, I reshape myself,

Tirelessly transforming,

My Being in the World.

Who I am when left to self,

Is half-creation.

We do not transform in isolation,

We do not grow in the void of our mind,

It is only in breath, through inspiration,

That we become.
