My Visit

by Dion

If there is reincarnation

or better yet if I could visit briefly...

I would become a rock

so I could rest and just observe everything and perceive myself.

Then I would become fire

so I could burn fully with all my feelings.

Then I would become clouds

so I could travel crying and bringing joy over the Earth.

Then I would become wind and leaves in love

each moving in the other as a man and a woman.

Then I would become light and shadows

playing under swaying trees

always looking, never finding, forever touching.

Then I would become the ocean

thrusting myself upon the bosom of the world.

Then I would become a hummingbird

tasting ambrosia.

Then I would become an eagle

soaring forever with hardly a movement of wing.

Then I would become a computer looking for my humanity

not knowing I already have it.

Then I would become Hitler

to know we are all a little like him.

Then as a child dying of starvation.

Then as a billionaire feasting.

Then as a priest gunned down by uniformed men.

Then as a television set, to me everyone addicted.

Then as a bicycle sharing our freedom.

Then as a mother on my own trying to sustain my baby.

Then as a father thousands of miles parted from his son and his own father.

Then as my parents to truly know them.

Then as my son to truly be his friend.

Then as a sailor to travel the sea of existence.

Then as an actor to be adored.

Then as Jesus to feel the thorns and the caressing Light.

Then as collective unconscious thoughts touching minds.

Then as planets and stars living and dying

making love and giving birth.

Then I would become me

exactly me

as I am now with all my pain and joy

back to the moment of now that is eternity.
