Revelation

                                    Beyond mortal glance                                                             
                                    Beyond day and night                                                                   
                                          I am the truth                                                            
                                   But I cannot see myself                                                                    
                                           Where am I?                                                            
                                   My reflection is not me                                                      
                             I am there and I am not there
                                                         
                                  Seekers came and went                                                          
                                 Seeking the unknowable                                                             
                                    Life passed in search                                                              
                                     What it is, why it is                                                            
                                   Ended without result                                                         
                                Knowledge is man-made                                                                
                                      Reason is sterile
                                                          
                                 What is being searched                                                                  
                                          Is not known                                                        
                               Bound by time and space                                                           
                                  Abstract and concrete                                                         
                                Devoid of faith and trust                                                         
                                Imagination gets hollow                                                               
                                     Far from absolute
                                                          
                                 Search is a human trait                                                               
                                      An intrinsic urge                                                              
                                    An endless pursuit                                                                
                                      Others are wiser                                                          
                                 Birds, bees and boughs                                                                
                                       Know the truth                                                          
                                And enjoy the moments
