The Layers
/ @1 Z6 n2 @1 y, @/ Q+ e# u. |
I have walked through many lives,
some of them my own,
and I am not who I was,
though some principle of being
abides, from which I struggle
not to stray.
When I look behind,
as I am compelled to look

whereever I need to go,
and every stone on the road
precious to me.
In my darkest night,
  k9 k% J0 k4 h6 A1 H/ n  Cwhen the moon was covered
and I roamed through wreckage,
a nimbus-clouded voice
directed me:

Though I lack the art

I am not done with my changes.
