Identity and the Mirror of Consciousness
Before the emergence
of consciousness
we were
a reflection of God
Afterward
unable to perceive identity
through internal reflection
God became a reflection
of US
Consciousness
splitting the mirror
2 hemispheres
Asking
WHO ARE YOU
But
No mirror
Can
Reflect
Itself
so in that fracture
Identity
Becomes
Alien
External
Something
OTHER
yet even in our exile our human
identity
remains
a single facet
of earth
a lens
through which
the planet
becomes
Aware Of
Itself
Thru
Language
Breath
Form
and in the question
that
echoes
from her
still
WHO ARE YOU
