Have You Kept Who You Are

Have you kept who you are? Do I know your name? Never too near… never too far Nothing ever stays the same I want to know who I am Do you know enough to tell me? If you have a way… I have a plan Will you not know me to make me see? Perhaps I rather be unknown A restless stranger in wholesome intimacy A someone with no one home A naturalist in every expectancy Do you know that someone? With that certainty and that confusion? A somewhere with nowhere to run A someone formed from that one implosion Do you dare to know who you are? Do you know my name? Ever too near… never too far Everything never stays the same
