World, what are you?
Your love is staggering
I say this to honour the catastrophe of bewilderment you have plagued me with
now I seek it at each and every corner
each stream of light, each breath
I reach out to taste its tremors
to shatter my wasteful perceptions
The undoing it bestows upon me is my fortress
I succumb innately to its mastery
its fragments of rapture spark my inner chambers alive
I am you
They caress
We am I
They confirm
I am
I say
There is light now, its root is the darkness that once stood
that once was a filter for all that could be, it was the promise and the perfection
it was the silent knowing
the reckoning
the nourishment of nothingness
And it was formed of our essence
it was formed of our birth, our conception, our seed, our void
it was our ancestors
it was our children
it was the infinite expanse of unquantifiable glory
It is us
