The unseeing eye

As far as my eye can see,
It is me who I seek.
Shelley’s love of similitude,
Caught as the heart exudes,

--Till I am unhinged by a greater being.
Unmasked: she is freeing.

I walk outside my customary zone
And still I find my own.

  1. This really beautifully completes my post about looking for family around the world.

    Family is a collection of our "selves" outside the self we know with which we would like to associate , and move through life with.

    Good job, Sne.

    It is like the "demons" in "The Golden Compass" but those "demons" are scattered all over the world.

    Has anyone read "Third-Culture Kid?" , or "Four Agreements" by Ruiz?

  2. Yes, daemons are the soul mates we find all over. Nice! ;)

    En faite, this poem was a response to the question of whether we must be burnt to find these selves. And I think not. While in pain you find your strength in others, but to locate these mates all you need is an openess to love.

    I am off to have some laced sweet milk with two of such souls who are keeping me pulsing.
