I spiral inward,

Extending outward,

Spilling out on to myself

And folding back in,

Placid, breathing life,

Life beyond death,

Embraced and embracing,

Everywhere and in one place,

Forever and a mere moment,

Blinking away breath

From the mirror,

Face-to-face,

And knowing beyond earthly wisdom,

Finality achieved in an instant

And captured and set free.
