An Old Feeling


My self within,

Raging energy,

A burning adolescent.

I become its dummy.


Out of my self,

Spirit suspended,

Looking down upon

the ugly contortions


of the ego in pain.

Descending, my spirit

opens wide its arms,

silently smiling,


too quiet sometimes

for my self to notice,

in the midst of my

noisy flailings.


Sometimes, when apart

I see you too,

Just one fraction of

an essence, your soul with


its head bowed in

susceptibility.

Slowly, as our selves

retract, we rise and stand



together, spirits

smiling at each other,

The distance rainbowed

between our gaze.
