I See the Flowers As I See Myself


I see myself as I see the flowers.

I see the flowers as I see the sky.

I see the sky as I see the ocean,

and the ocean as immortality,

and immortality as mortality.

and mortality as the journey.

The journey of life;

The journey of of death;

The journey to nothing;

Nothing, like the flowers

Nothing, resembled as everything

Nothing, because it is empty.

Simplicity exists in this complication;

If there is everything,

There must also be nothing.

I see myself as I am.

I see you as you are.

I see unity as we are everything,

Yet nothing at all.
