Why? - 5/7/2014

Veni

There was a world
beyond the horizon
of stone
sand
river
tree
people
music
laughter
and it called my name
though it had never met me
I could not but come
and see

Vidi

Beyond that horizon
now
I look
and find those
that called me
rich and poor
wise fools
and dancing eyes
places and names
that never were
where I was
I see forests of maybe
made into is

Vici

And now it is mine
but why?
Why did I step on this soil
and turn it into something it was not?
Why did I drink its waters
and make them my own?
Why did I take wonder
and beat it into my own image?
The steward is lost
the eye without judge
in making everywhere

home.
