Separation Anxiety


Separation Anxiety

You began as a mist
Unseen
Unmanifest
Rising invisibly
Skyward
Drawn uncontrollably
As one
And there you stayed
Growing stronger
Until all at once you burst forth
Separating into droplets
But still connected
You fall from such great height
Yet you land on me
And all around me
Separately and together
Still connected
But you've forgotten
Your connection
Oneness
Wholeness
Separate droplets
But from the same
One
Soon you will evaporate
Or slide off into the earth
And be drawn up
Again
Repeating the cycle
Returning to one
But there you are
On your leaf
Quivering
As if you are alone
