Spotlight

Character
-
That you are me is not what I like best
- That you are me by me, no other mind
- Sprung stealthily in inspiration's jest
- To life and full-blown human of your kind
-
No passive, dumb consumption made you turn
- From ink contours to multi-coloured soul
- But stumble, faulty sentence, keyboard's churn
- My feverish expression of world's all
-
You started me from sitting, waking dreams
- To try at what I never knew I could
- And here you are, not me, yourself indeed
- You breathe now. I remain, full changed, forgood
-
Observer turned creator by God's grace
- So leave, my love, and live, I've had my space
