the diminishing human

Competitive lust fading,
Craving for acknowledgment lessening,
Accomplishment no longer the magnet of the compass,
Society is not the orbit,
Culture not the flow,
Social communion not the center,
Desire to have others understand ME no longer driving.
I only know myself through looking beyond ME.
No longer feeding image, diminishing.
Leading with innocence not arrogance.
Standing alone yet connected to everything and everyone.

My blood no longer blood,
A river flowing.
My bones no longer bones,
Rocks of the earth.
My hair and beard no longer hair,
Leaves and moss of the trees.
My lungs no longer lungs,
The breathing forest.
My breath no longer breath,
A great wind.
My kidneys no longer kidneys,
A great sea.
My heart no longer my heart,
The pulsation of the universe.

Elven magic,
Tree communicator,
Wizard's wisdom, child like, as ancient as stone,
Whale soul,
Reptilian transcendence,
Change embracer,
Collected stardust is reality,
Vibration and combustion,
Eternal.
