We reflect others who give to us
without knowing for we
discover only through
contemplative searching
the cupboards of our life-pieces
kaleidoscopic parts in
flux of living-among the shards
some jewels mounted in
upstretched, seeking arms of
our beings.
Unfortunate, ironic, we cannot
be aware of
giving to another's life
what are the pieces
how are they re-formed in
the life of the receiver
as that life-composition emerges
into another being.
"Significant influences?" some ask
in probing our texture
wondering how
we became.
