When I was young <br />and had nothing to say <br />I thought I was no-one; <br /> <br />when I was still <br />I thought myself empty; <br /> <br />Now I am older <br />and become silent <br />I am everyone; <br /> <br />when I am still, <br />I am full. <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />[leaning on Kabir’s ‘ghar ghar dipak barai’]<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/light-everywhere/
