Parentheses of life
enfold us in mystery
On one side what is there
and on the other
what’s not yet
+
So prideful is our view
that we make claims to see
what we can only guess
and then make claims to know
what we suppose
+
Then we may look within
and spy what’s floating there
then turn it into words
and useful games
+
A circuitous process
we call consciousness
amid deep breaths
+
And then we long to feel
wind on our face
and maybe try to catch
a hint of grace
+
