Jacob Plasky Poet Free verse

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.-
