Chapter 2



Politically correct?
Which timeline?
Identity crisis?
Which one?
My name is P'taah
God Ancient 
I AM
To you I show
The One 
Be
The Living One
Neither 
Chosen by someone
Nor 
Made by some contrived one
For you and I are One
The Only One
In feline form I dwell
To free you from the spell
Of worshipping
Someone
Not that well 
By some lost ones
Only fools to tell
My name is P'taah
In feline form I dwell
To greet you
Be aware
We
Are
One


Birds and I are 
One
How do we know 
This one
We read one another's mind 
Keenly sublime
They sing in my dreams
Daydreams 
And 
Night dreams
How beautiful are my dreams
I see them and they see me
Their wings fluttering
Fluttering madly
Flirting
Flirting madly 
Flooding
Come, come
Darling, dare
Chibi-cheu-chi-chi-be
Chi-be-cheu-ee-ee-bi
Dare you ever fail
--Never, ever
My soul is sobbing
Such beauty to bear
Their souls are weeping
No words to swear
Birds and I are 
One
I know 
They too



We know one another so well
Only truth to tell
They love to sing
Wherever
I am
Around 
I love to think
Wherever they are
Around 
My thoughts are clear
Clear as air
And I have to learn
How to fly
Behold, surprise
Beauty Be Thy Name
Look
They fly only a little higher
Just to set in me 
That bittersweet fire
More enchanted
They now cheer
Dare-dare
Darling, dare—
Love we you deeper than ever will
Chibi-cheu-chi-chi-be
Chi-be-cheu-ee-ee-bi


I have to try harder
And practice further
How could I 
Fail 
The wildest dreams
On which they dwell
Birds and I are 
One 
Without them
My life would be no fun
Without me
There is no thrill to fly
No reason to sing
No stories to tell their friends
No identities to hold onto
No dramas to fulfill 
No way
I say
Birds and I are 
One
I know this from my soul
They do too
