One

Out of the dense
into the space
where does emptiness lead
I seek that which I am blind to

Unraveling knots of time decay
sloughing off winter's coat

Anew I stand naked
vulnerable to all, protected by none
yet the sun cloaks my tender skin
and I stand, more courageous than the warrior in false garment

The spark of eternity glimmers blue
its flame but a flicker yet it needn't more to burn
the infinite within without confines of space
fuses into the expanded one
