Transparency

Transparency

How can we understand
the body's opaqueness
is in truth..transparent..?
Many layers of confusion
 have hindered
this understanding..
The body as object
as limited and dense
is the discovery
we all make at birth..
This act of creation
allowing each of us to 
be one as oneself and
survey the world..
The ache each feels
accompanies creation:
simply a longing for home
a transparent fullness
which our birth has veiled..
