WHOLLY APART
i am Solitude within a multitude
A star in a constellation
A grain on a beach
A drop in an ocean
one Life in motion.
i am a Stroke in a painting
A thread in a tapestry
A bead on a necklace
one Second amidst all eternity
a single Letter
on a page
in a chapter
of a book
on a shelf
within a vast library.
Without me,
the World
has
and will
Go on.
i am a Mountain in a range
An island in a chain
A leaf in a forest
A blade in a meadow
A cell in a body
A hair on a head.
i am neither special nor strange.
When i'm gone,
very Little will change.
Why? Because
i am NOT NEEDED.
i do NOT MATTER.
i am neither a piece
nor a part.
i am Whole.
(i am healed!)
i am Whole.
(i am filled!)
i am Whole.
(i am home.)
i must Release
this forever Fantasy of Finding
(something to fill me,
someone to complete me).
i must Awake
from this narcissistic Nightmare of Needing
(to be needed)
and Fall
down –
down
to Reality.
for when i Finally Face
and Entirely Embrace
my Wholeness,
then i will be
Free –
Free
to Enjoy and Experience and Explore!
all it means
and
how it feels
to Be!
Fully Alive
and
Wholly Apart –
me amidst We.
