as I slept a message wrote itself

just for me

Last night, my eyes opened

waking up a

message

just for me

It was so transcendent

but I couldn’t stay awake

My eyes opened the message

twice

and twice I fell

into the inky arms of

the night

My words are trying to read

the message

written on my sleepy soul

When the words disappear

will I become

the message?

I see a shining new being

sitting in my chest

Who are you?, I ask

I AM

both the question

and the answer

The message breathes in

through my nostrils,

so sure of itself,

like it knows where it’s going

It settles in my heart

without skipping a beat

like it’s right at home
