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
