As is

To fly, to swim

To croon, to sing

To flow, to stay still

To write, to read

A bird, a fish

a song, just noise

a river, a lake

a human, a being

Through them all

I have been

Through them all

I have lived

a life defined

a life confined

by wings, by fin

by melody, by voice

by shores, by depth

by thought, by mind

Nothing could contain

the immensity of being

(just) nothing

No role

No form

No stencil/ template

No protocol

A life

Just that

Nothing less

Nothing more.
