transcending skin
illusions and masksstep into your fears

to catch you if you fallI'll enter your world unveiled
naked
a child yet to be bornblank canvases
and
infinite potentialities

we
could be right then and nowmelting bygone days and yet-to-bes
we are whole
we are now
we are nothing
symphonies of the emptiness
between atoms floating
through imaginary constructs
of space and timebut as long as you
I
we
breathewe are everything
