rouged lips
forgotten—

I too search
For the humanity of awareness
I too find my self
By going towards nothingness
And by reaching
The nothingness of awareness
I appreciate all and everything
Which my senses gift to me:
The sky becoming light
The bird taking flight
The flag flying vigorously
In the strong morning wind
I forget that
I have forgotten my self
But who am I
To say such a thing
