No Reasonable Explanation

There’s no suitable explanation for me- no premise by premise, with a slight scent of rosed misconceptions leading to my conclusion. Scientists? Well they’d have me believe i’m the effect of some orgiastic collaboration of molecules. But without my mind, i’m lost (and they cannot fix that with surgery) skeptics aside, why am I here? What’s my function? My function is merely to exist. To exist within those short breaths taken upon the peak of dawn’s smile. Within the st-studdering flutter of eyelids during the first sight of love, the first realization of fate. I’ve set on this land so the sun can shine through my eyes lifting my head to the clouds, and my arms to the horizon. And in my moment of pure innocence and certainty, you look upon and smile. and in that brief stare- I exist in you. I exist for you. Whoever you are. (morning jogger, tricycle warrior, dreamwalker)I am simply here For our thin glimpse of truth: that I exist within you as you in me. God incarnate, I am not. But I am given the chance to obtain God-like attributes. to be a part of Your life, however miniscule or unimportant. I made You smile. I made You laugh. I made You turn. I made You love. I made You exist. If only for Me You exist.-
