Inside

Photo by Aperture Vintage

There is no way to know the larger,
The greater
Of where we come from —
There is a whole universe of uncertainty
That holds us inside,
Stuck in one mind.

There is no way to know the one
And only path
That we need to step on —
There is a whole universe of fear
That holds us inside,
Keeping blind.

There is no way to know what’s bigger,
What’s older
Than us.
There is a whole universe of lives
That lay ahead,
Stay behind.

There is no way to see the whole universe —
Until we look inside.
