I have these eyes —
this intersection of perception,
this way of seeing
I have this truth at my core
that gives me context
to interpret what is here,
to understand the law
that flows in everything
I have this love
(not made by me
but found in me, as me)
It is my life to be it,
to insist that it illumine
all that I behold,
so bearing witness
with my eyes, my truth, my love
to what I am,
to what we are.
