WE ARE MUCH
I wish I could tell you the depth of me
Reveal it all in one spark from me,
The muchness of all my years that swelled
From those who have met me in the light
And in the shadows of life's deep wells
Where fears were quelled by a creature
That made my senses burst within the roar of nature
Absorbed since my first adventure of breath.
If I could give you the one word, or sound
Of my life's collections, it would come out in a sigh.
I wish I could tell you the depth of me
Reveal it all in one spark from me,
The muchness of all my years that swelled
From those who have met me in the light
And in the shadows of life's deep wells
Where fears were quelled by a creature
That made my senses burst within the roar of nature
Absorbed since my first adventure of breath.
If I could give you the one word, or sound
Of my life's collections, it would come out in a sigh.
