When the sun rises

 When the sun rises, 

it rises for you.

Yes, for you

Yes, that's true.

You are it, everything, 

the universe, yang and yin

galaxies and stars.

Venus and Mars.

 

separateness you feel 

is only a mask to conceal

You have to put it on

to enjoy human form

 

Under the mask, 

You have a class

and your shape is all

it's not big or small

Now how far can you 

feel yourself expand? 

to your friend?... 

To your parent?... 

To your aunt?

to your child?...

to a stranger online?

to your guru, imam or pope?

 half way around the globe?
