Who Are We At Our Core
Line of inquiry: “we look for that that does not come and go
it cannot be organic form, subject to decay
thoughts and beliefs are fickle, how little we know
yet come what may, our inner child continues to play”
Who am I is the question I ask
in the dimness of a darkened room
the one my husband fancies on the moon
one with ideas that doesn't explode in a flask.
Am I simply one I see in the mirror
asking question that come from the galaxy
asking questions that no one expects of me
Am I the image that I fear?
Have I given my way to insanity
existing in a bubble all my own
could I break the surrounding stone
is my existence mere vanity?
Not a monolith but a complex being indeed
so my thoughts run wild like a steed!
