Tell me which path to follow.
Totality is fleeting,
Rare and precious thing,
Always searching for
The sum of my parts.
I have never been an absolute.
I dance among the shadows.
This moon-touched body
Breathes sun-soaked words
In the darkness.
Constellation of my courage
I will weather this darkness
If only for a glimpse of the light.
