I've come to this pristine, serene garden,

Just to get away from the trinity of my identity —

I, myself, and me.

 

This sunny Saturday late afternoon,

October's sweet, sublime chill fills my cells

With an overwhelming sense of fluid ambiguity.

 

I could just as easily be who I'm not

As who I was before I entered this moment of repose

And became suspended in undefiled transcendence.

 

In the near distance, I hear a minister's voice

Articulating a marriage ceremony,

Initiating the next episode in the lives of two souls,

 

And with it, I try to triangulate the hour of my days,

The time remaining for my vibrant psyche to thrive,

The visions left for my imagination to harvest.

 

Gradually, as the sun descends,

I rise from my trance, assume my waiting identity,

And exit the garden, glad to be new to who I now am.
