Un-Awareness
Un-Awareness
Power of your presence
Scorches my smallness….
How did I not see you
All these years
As you grew,
Blossomed,
Changed,
Turned unrecognizable
And flew?
Did I drink
In your benevolence
As you gave yourself away
Drop-by-drop
Pint-by-pint
And swelled
Into the shape of oceans?
Did I think
With closed eyes
Seeing shapes
You’d outgrown
While you transformed
Into butterflies
Made of light?
Power of your presence
Mocks my awareness….
