#i was inspired by the curtain at the open window as i prayed asr a few weeks ago. it was golden hour and there was birdsong and the wind

[anelegaicmind]

I Hang My Ego Out

I dance by the open window

In the light of the sun,

In the light of the moon.

The song of birds shakes my soul

As I reach longingly down,

Fingers toward the soft earth.

The linen of my body forms waves

Flowing gracefully at the threshold

Between the inner and outer,

Between safety and uncertainty,

Between known and unknown.

Caught at the definition of two worlds,

Pressing inward and outward

I always return to centre.

Unaware of my future

Made entirely of the past:

Unrooted and displaced therefrom.

My nature is form

And my form is nature

To which I yearn to return.

Existing within the greatest love

Yet flapping in gusts

Toward the lesser.
