As a child
you could barely tell yourself
from the unending sunlit eternal
the trees & skies
you were part of it all.
As a teenager
you’re jerked into the Now
into more urgent realms
of need and anguish
brooding and doubt
magic and fear
loathing and beauty
rude health of the body
demanding its due
soul looking into crevices.
This book’s for you
along with its companion, Book II
soon to be issued.
