YOU ARE (by Robin Izer)

YOU ARE

for Charlie Coon

You are not

your shirt

nor your nails

nor the hairs

on your head

you are breath

being breathed by

the vibrating stuff

of the universe –

hydrogen, oxygen, carbon

elements of living energy

you are not

your hands

your heart

most of all

you are not your thoughts

though you might think so

you are pure

consciousness streaming

from the center of

the universe which

is both you and everywhere

complete & evolving

at the same nanosecond

wave & particle

wave & drop of water

simultaneously –

being, becoming

still, exploding

into time, out of time

but right now

just here

this presence

our blesséd vibrating together. 7.25.17
