Who You Are (poem by Dorothy)
Who You Are
How the body is put together,
with its tender fastenings,
its mysterious openings,
its muscles working in
smooth coordination
to convey it
where it wishes to go,
how it changes
from year to year,
from day to day,
its cells working in collusion
to lift it always
into a new formulation,
how the face communicates
its signals
endlessly,
whether it is
happy or sad
or puzzled
or plotting,
how the inner and outer,
organs and coverings
are part
of the same being,
the same oneness
that is bound together
to make the unique creation,
the one combination
that is you,
present here,
now,
spirit’s abode,
soul’s habitation,
never to be encountered
again
here or elsewhere
in time’s endless
cycles.
