Alone To Alone

“Life is the flight from the alone to the Alone” - Plotinus

I, in full flight 
from alone to Alone 
and then–so swiftly– 
right 
‘round.
Back again?

Aloneness.
No, 
	more!
I feel— I look— I act like a mess,
But... 
	----! 
I am alive,
and again and at last,
	I feel. 

I, a something 
in the nothing 
of a moment, dance. 
“It is as it should be," 
I heard it say to me,
in the pouring torrents of
Atonement’s rain.

I felt 
and sometimes still feel
in my self
a dying grace.
I felt and sometimes still feel
like a child
awake, aware, out of mind
in oneness, somewhere.

Now, who is the I 
seeing the me 
when I, Alone
Am It, 
and it: me?
