INEFFABLY COMING AND GOING
INEFFABLY COMING & GOING
Breath comes to me involuntarily with life, consciousness, and sensitivity.
With effort I learn and acquire bodily balance, speech, mobility, activity.
Continence blends the two, being involuntariness, braked by effort.
Emotions flow with my feelings from the inside out, unless staunched.
Ideas come to me, subtlety, inaudible whispers inside temporal sapience.
Education and religion I must acquire to socialize, associate & express me.
Possessions, love & land I require to settle, to sustain, to perpetuate me.
In the end, as ineffably as I came, I must also as ineffably return whence I come.
