Deliverance From Self Poem by Lizzie Lum

Through you I lose myself
That, which is everything and nothing
All at the same time

Through you I find myself
The unfathomable celestial void
That weaves the infinitely mysterious silk
From here to there
That same blurring complexity
From which I now know
My own tapestry is made

It is with your eyes
That I mournfully observe
My tender inconsequence
Yet still see that these steps
Will tread heavy footprints
On our precious lands

It is with your bare hands
That I dig for the forgotten pieces
Of lost ancient puzzles
And grasp myself as the universe
So cherish distant worlds
In the palm of my trembling hand
