Existence

EXISTENCE

“To know what you are”
searching for the beginning –
unravelling this existence
the mind set on a journey
air-earth-water-fire-sky
guide my navigation
the gasping spirit travelled
to the East-“breathe calmly”
a wise voice inside beckoned
the Sylphs danced all around
the calmness in a voice still
heart beats in anticipation
What I see
What I breathe
What I stand on
What I feel
What I think
there is me there
I am therefore
a part of the universe
I come from there
I go back there
the earth holds me
till my time comes
the flames take me
upward into the air
I come back as water
to behold this earth again
the circles connect
I can now define:
I know I exist
in all these realms
