cherry-picked emotions
from oceans
of experience
develop an identity
a distinct personality
evolve into a lagoon
with properties of the whole
yet ….
not whole
vibrancy of a lake
lies in guessing
origin of individuality
-a possible metamorphosis
into something
better than the whole

I like the metaphor you’ve used here, and I absolutely love the second stanza. We all have the power to create … ourselves. Just as others see what they choose to see.🩵
