Paradox
Paradox
You are the earth the moon and the sun
The cosmic stars the body and none
Prior to the big bang an infinite eternity
You are these thoughts the feelings the uncertainty
You never were yet you were born
You are the rose the mud and the thorn
You have nothing to mourn
Yet you feel the pain as if you’d just been born
You are the little kid the adolescent the old man
Yet you are the presence in all these without a plan
You are un-manifest yet you soar in the manifest
You are not of time yet you stand the test
You are immaculate
Yet you are the body and sweat
You are stained like the windows in the church
Yet you are the sun that illuminates these
You find it trying a times yet you are completely at ease
There is utter peace in you presence and you are that
Yet at times you think of where you sat
You are the speech the noise and the scar
Yet nothing can trouble the silence that you are
You are everything and nothing
You are silent yet you sing and sing
