What substance do I have?
bone muscle blood skin.

I know there is more
than these.

But it is so fleeting
slipping through these mortal fingers
squishing between my<b> toes </font></b>as I walk
wetting my hair as the sky falls .

So I write
thinking that maybe
I can catch something by surprise
pin it this paper with my pen
some fluttering gossamer wing
that tells me what am I?

That’s a mystery we all encounter
During life’s travails
Are we more
Than the sum of our parts?
Does the intangible matter
To one or all?
If you’re alone and fall
Should you pick yourself up
Or allow a kind stranger to help?
Sinew and muscle strain
Yet the brain never rests
Even in slumber
We question our world
Should the answer arrive
Would we even listen?
