You are not what you were.
That inchoate yearning embryonic entity
who presented herself as full and finished?
Not that at all or ever again.
But this emergent hesitant pillar striving for the authentic in all ways.
You are not what you were—
younger than springtime and greener than grass—
but what you are now:
more compassionate,
more aware of others' misery,
more capable of holding life
in your own two hands,
more aware,
more aware,
more here, more present.
Release who you were into the past where she belongs
and revel in the current you,
who is present
and is a present to reward your efforts.
