Orbiting around
The center of my
World — which seems
To me to be neither
Sun nor other
Solar core —
I am propelled
Without course.
Just this spinning
That seems to be
Ever taking me back
To the same place
I’ve been.
And yet, in the
Midst of this
Getting-nowhere,
I find myself moved
To a new understanding:
I am all of these
Things in a way.
And yet,
I am not defined
By the orbit,
Nor the Sun,
Nor the Solar System.
These are but containers
And paths —
That which can
Come and go.
I am me;
The absolute and
Finite center
Of my own
Being and
Becoming.
