To someone by no one…

I adorn your face from multiple lifetimes.  

Do you recognise me as yours?  

My voice resembles yours in one sentence,  

Did I sound familiar to you?  

I walk along the beach,  

Etching my footsteps into the sand,  

Only for them to disappear as the tide comes in.  

Were you ever at the place I was?  

Feeling the waves soothe through your body Like a prying thought.  

Asking you to simply follow, without the details. Into confusion, darkness and anger.  

And eventually art.  

Do you understand these things in the depths I see them?  I like to think you would,  

Fully. Deeply. Spiritually. 

Because after all, 

I am part of your art collection too.
