Who When What and Why
Who
is the silhouette standing at the edge of a launch pad,
not a name, but a constellation of choices,
a cracked pane catching yesterday’s light.
You are the architect and the ruin,
the ink and redaction,
the question that folds into itself like origami wings.
When
is now, not the ticking clock,
but the thunderhead before rain,
the hush before a symphony erupts,
the long countdown of every misstep and triumph
stacked like rocket fuel beneath your feet.
This moment is a fuse, lit by the friction of all that came before,
and you are the spark that cannot be postponed.
What
is the mirror fractured into infinite selves,
each reflection a version of you that believed it was the final draft.
But every draft was a rehearsal for this breath,
this heartbeat,
this inevitable unveiling of the design that was never flawed,
only unfinished.
You are the echoes of originates,
the clay and the kiln, the sculpture still warm from the fire.
Why
because the universe is a cartographer
drawing maps on on parchment that fades,
holding back the demise of a perfect coordinate.
Because the grand design is not a straight road
but a spiral staircase,
and every step is the only step that could exist.
Because you were always meant to stand here, on this trembling platform,
ready for the next jettison of time and purpose.
So I ask you:
What is the Who, When, What, and Why of you?
Can you accept it as perfect?
The description of your persona being just as it should be?
Am I on the launchpad? Only time will tell.
