It’s night. All around me is only darkness.
I feel myself
And the things about me
At my arm’s reach.
I and everything mine
Feels big!
Little by little
It dawns.
Things begin to take shape;
My eyes grasp wider horizons.
I and mine become smaller;
The world around me gets bigger and bigger.
Light enlightens me:
The notion of ‘I and mine’
Makes me blind.
To think ‘we and ours’
Looks more interesting...
And, fairly eye-opening!
