I wade through the symbols of essence unseen

By light and by shadow departing a dream 

All centered inside of the self shell of me.


The light pushes darkness away from my form

A backdrop, a contrast to all that is known

Reminder that all that is known is not all.


Where I came from is lost in the mist of a dream

where I'm going us mortals aren't worthy to deem

As swallows in spring we build life like a nest.


It's sadness and beauty to venture the thought

Of life as an endless and boundless event

A loop from the light of an infinite sun.
