POEM: more than what once was.

(15 Jan 2002)

here i write, these words...
  focussed on their place, this time.

there they exist, just as words...
  blurred in their meaning, just enough.
 
everywhere this time, they exist...
  in just the way they seem, as they are.

knowing who i am, they saw just the cover...
  the cover of events, that seems more that it was.
 
now seeking to grow beyond, as i have become...
  more than i once was, this time.
 
Yet... i wonder, and wish to catch up...
  more than what once was.
