The air changes
As the world breathes in to speak,
This is veil shared to all
Is pulled away from my shoulders.

Suddenly I notice the open window
And the room is an amphitheatre of cold winds.
Now numberless forgotten footsteps are retraced,
and we hear our neighbors sleeping in the other room.

On tumbling down this steep hill
It becomes all too obvious
That I'm..."spirit".
A thought, a noticing
Definitionless.
Describing everything else in this proscenium,
But they never choose to fly up to where I've come.

And I'm left trying to understand
Why this sky never changes
And why neither do I.
