Is it exclusively 'my dream'? Will my departure be assimilated as was my arrival...? part 6 of a poem called Kali: From where does all this come from? The wind, the sea, me? Just how do I awaken in my morning breath in my earthly body, to the lusty songs of small birds to the well-known song of me? Did I bring all this with me in the dream of me? Will it all go away one day? Will it disappear like words a finger writes upon water? Like a cloud? And if I should meet you this day, forgive me if I see the sunlight in your eyes if I touch the moonlight in your hair, kiss the starlight falling from your love-filled mouth, where we swim together, if only this one glorious moment. ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` we come from the great unknown and we shall return to ?
