Who Are You?

I am the person who

unravels life.

I open up my memory

to search for truth.

If you look deeply in

the wrinkles

you will see

sunlight.

I’m not a

camera that blocks

the arches of the

dark.

I sit and watch as you

doze on the verge of

falling.

I can’t let you

fall, so I rescue

you for something

so priceless–

life.

Now I stand before the

light

open-hearted and

lovable

a throb of fevered care

a crowning of a child

a piece of light.
