Ideas, perceptions, understandings
form, revise, clarify
the cycle repeats
And a self becomes, moves toward solidity

In the absence of surrounding support
If instead even the opposite
Where goes then self

To remember the path taken
To find within a confirmation
And to hope and to welcome while not to require
support from without

Not always so easy
Where goes then self

The ideas, perceptions, understandings
they still develop and grow
Are they not still valid
And so then the self

Finding and re-finding self
