Where the Earth folded
Great mountains arose
Where lands folded
Cities were born
Where rivers folded
Civilisations grew
Where flesh folded
Bodies were formed
Where skin folded
Faces appeared
Where clothes folded
Races emerged

But where souls folded
Coldness struck
Boundaries were drawn
Walls were erected
Divisions made
Differences multiplied
The clamour of the ‘I’
Intensified

Souls behind faces
Souls within races
Folded unto themselves
Into narrow, tight spaces

The work of this life
Unfolding my soul
Going beyond
One's name, one's role

Folds give form
Folds are the norm
Meet me without folds
Come as you are, pure and unrolled
