all is a mystery
awaiting discovery
the push for self-actualization
an essential drive
extending oneself to the highest
fundamental to our existence
without it
we cease to exist
at the very least – to thrive
Tag: alive
Encased
everything i know about who i am is inside this shell
i see
what my eyes behold in a world belonging to my perspective
i feel
what my being is influenced by
i breathe
what my body needs for survival
i smell
what my nostrils encounter in this life
i touch
what my hands need to grasp
i hear
what sounds out around me
i taste
what i satiate my body with
this body is a vessel
holding in place
all that is required
to thrive
constant motion
inside the barrier
which separates
the external of my perspective
a heart beating on its own
food moving through long tubes
enzymes, bugs, and fungus
breaking it all down
the mind focused
on a gazillion things
while i’m focused
on a trillion more
this being i am
only knows about this one life
i reside in an
encased consciousness
I Write Her
