From I to Eye


***


You know of one birth,
A choiceless coming;
The flesh unfolding
Between sky and earth.


You know of one birth,
A shunning of death;
Relying on breath,
Longing for worth.


You know of one birth,
Which opens your eyes
On your life as a prize
Between fill and dearth.


But there is a birth,
Which is yours by choice,
For your soul to rejoice
Beyond fill and dearth.


A coming to be,
Which opens the eye
With a deathless sigh
Upon a shadowless sea.


Close your eyes
And you may see;
A withering I,
A turning key…
