New
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.
