For the "inner" self

I thought you were the seed

buried down since my birth

watered in that succulent spring

and awakened by the light and warmth

 

I thought you were broken

during that decade-long blizzard

and I was since then struggling

for your unscheduled rejuvenation

 

I blamed the bleak winter

and cursed the torment and fear

I tore phantoms and demons

and trespassed where none had been near

 

But it has just dawned on me

that you were never inside

You are the tinted spectacles

that filter and define

 

Immersed in the destinies given

you feel the textures and rhythms

You solve puzzles when I drift away

and are solidified in your wisdom

 

I was never rescuing you

It was you who were guarding me

But just in case if you haven’t noticed

to you the world bends its knees
