Unmasked Me

@Uootem

I desire to know
      what we must have always known
              to hear truth
                            from whispers in the wind
            that has blown forever
                        with no sense of time
                                to build something unique
                  from ashes from ancient fire
                                  from nothing more, toward nothing less...
            I finally aspire to find... the phoenix that rises from ashes
                                    long since extinguished
                to see what we overlooked
                                            while not seeing what we recognized
                to be what we should have been
                                            while not being what we always were
                            greater than me... greater than you...
                                                where one and one... is not mathematics
                                                                        but is something much more than two.
                to be free of the shackles
                              that bind me and you
                                              to this earth,
                                                      this time,
                                                            this place
                to soar toward heights
                                where no cloud blocks the view
                                              where we can see past the stigma
                                                              of what we have been taught to think
                                                                            to find what we have always known 
                                            that something that holds me
                                                      forever in your presence
                                                                even when you are nowhere to be found
                              to know, in the newness of mystical oldness
                                                                            unmasked Me.
