Remember

You confuse yourself for a stagnant pond

But you are a raging river that infinitely flows

Fills every space, reaches all receptive places on this earth

A melody that cascades into notes too high for the voice to reach

An electromagnetic spectrum beaming into colors the eyes are unable to see

You are what cannot be fathomed

Only felt

Experienced briefly before hiding again

I thought I built these barriers of brick, iron, and lead

I thought you did

But instead of you or me

It was life's way all along

Now you think what you are not

Is what you are

And as I run up against them

They give me pause.

And I realize for a moment

Maybe no one is at fault

But it isn't any less upsetting

I want to break them down more than I want to be immortal

Because mortal is not what we are

We are

Echoes, ripples, and beautiful consequences

Cell division, destruction and creation

Unspeakable paradise waiting to be explored

We are silent explosions of the invisible

Waiting to be discovered

We are way more than this

Why can't you.

Why can't I.

REMEMBER.
