Show me what I could be.
Give me a silhouette of the unknown,
revealing ageless mystery!
Go ahead of me and yet also behind,
and remind me that the past, present, and future are intricately intertwined!
Uncertainty and the definite interlace,
and all waters and all skies stand face to face...
...mouth to mouth!
Intrigued, I peek through the lattice of this perplexing symmetry,
and gaze at the sun and the moon,
who kiss endlessly!
These shadows once ran in front of me
and behind and then in front of me again,
because they wanted me to awaken and see...
...what I thought to be an odd dream,
was more tangible than it seemed!
Because these shadows were only pictures of what was, what is, and what will be,
they fled before my very eyes,
but left behind an invisible cake, an overflowing cistern, and a whispering cloak.
The greatest of these three, wrapped around me,
and breathed into me, "Because I have lived and cannot die, you also will become like I!"
