Inspiration piece
You Have To Be
By Matthew Andrews
Response
You build yourself a home, a life, a dream
In comfort made from sweat and work and blood
Yet something there is more than it may seem
Some inner world of feeling’s deepest flood
You smile then, and go in for a swim
You settle into grass and close your eyes
Out of the darkness we all have within
Your former forms, fish flesh and fowl, arise
Your oldest souls have come to play with you
The one becomes the many becomes the one
Transmissions from our past are futured through
Once more you recollect how to be young
From distant forms drawn from the unseen sea
You have to be each thing that you can be
