Inner Forces

(after the drawing by Paul Klee)

What proto-particle of thought

what word, syllable or sound

what random gesture 

of the head or hand

creates a universe

so far beyond itself?

They began inside

and stayed through time that never moves.

They waited 

for the first epiphany of light.

There are forces, dear child,

far inside

that shape your face

and command your will;

bend rivers on a mysterious course

and raise mountains from the plains;

grow stars and galaxies

where dust had been.

And they began with you

inside of you

and end where they began.
