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
