Unification

I’ve spent my life…
          Learning to separate
                    Learning to segregate
          Distinguishing everything I see
                    Distinguishing everything that’s me
          Recognizing what belongs to you
                    Recognizing what you belong to
          Liberating things in my past
                    Liberating things that won’t last
          Understanding destiny
                    Understanding ancestry
          Accepting the universal
                    Accepting the abysmal
          Developing the literal
                    Developing the fictional
          Escaping my longings
                    Escaping my belongings

After years of Orienting
                                   Outlining
                      Categorizing
                                   Classifying
                      Analyzing
                                   Assessing
                      Segregating
                                   Separating

I’m finally ready to see…
     The me in everything else
          The everything else in me
     The now in the past
          The now in the future
     The hope in dreams
          The dreams in greed
               The greed in generosity

Before he dies
     The blessed man will get to perceive
          This beautiful world of gray
With the same eyes
     That couldn’t filter or disbelieve
          On his very first day
