Curious
Looking in the mirror
I like what I see
As clearer and clearer
Curiosity
Helps me to remember
It is not too late
Though in my September
For a twist of fate
For serendipity
A curious boy at fifty-five
Retaining
A sense of who I am and was
Remaining
Curious and curiously alive
Explaining
Nothing now and no more because
Containing
Myself locked in labels and names
Refraining
From being inexplicable
Is him not me though I was he
I used to be afraid
But not anymore
My decision is made
Not against but for
Me
And you and being
And for our being free
Freeing by being
Becoming you and me
I lead and I follow
I find where life goes
I know and do not know
Since nobody knows
And if you want to come
Along for the ride
To find what we become
When we go outside
I offer you my hand
An opportunity
To bloom and to be
As you as I am me
As we understand
And appreciate
Through curiosity
It is not too late
For a twist of fate
Through serendipity
I am not a same among sames
Anymore
Now I am inexplicable
Like a door
Opening outward to the clouds
Into the sky
Opening inward to the crowds
To enter by
Which to come through curiosity
And I wait for you there
At the cloud crowd door where we go free
We who are everywhere
We used to be afraid
But not anymore
Our decision is made
Not against but for
We
Become by being
By our becoming free
Freeing by being
Becoming you and me
We know and do not know
Since nobody does
As we come and go
Through is to be from was
We come becoming come because
Of curiosity
Through serendipity
To be as you as I am me
We come becoming free
