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?
