Dasein

I. 

I have been who I am, who I’ve always been

I see myself from afar, I see myself take a path

Ive always taken. And a new one too, which will lead somewhere

I do not know yet 

I am between two halves, two hemispheres

I’ve collided and tumbled 

Pulled by gravity inwards

And outwards again, until I now know

This is where I’ve always been, 

All along, a sunburnt road 

Hope is always there beside my two hemispheres,

Which I will find 

A little space I carve

To make a smile again in my heart

This little space, so well contained

I see it, clear waters

I pull myself towards one hemisphere

Where specifics become real

Real between the generational spaces

I am of one universe

And of another, 

A more ancient one

But I am one universe when 

I am part of my own 

History and hemisphere

Among other

Hemispheres and Worlds. 

II. 

Though 

I ought to find the sun 

and should be sought from inwardly, 

it basks outside, 

but disappears, dissolves, becomes intangible 

to ourselves, and others 

a spreading seed, growing among other things

is strongest from the heart, 

it tumbles and turns, 

it embarks on its own journey, 

forces act against it, but 

a seeds sprout is independent 

and should remain so others can form

I wonder how things fly into breeze

the leaves, branches, and millions of little dust particles 

soaking in humidity

Scared of those who touch it 

Scared of all feeling
