Subtraction
Can I teach you about life’s little trick?
The path to Eden doesn’t exist;
It lights up beneath your feet
You don’t preach the light;
you remove the flickering bulb.
You don’t teach what’s real;
you show what isn’t.
You don’t unlock the heart;
you stop guarding the door.
You don’t summon God’s voice;
you stop interrupting it
You don’t find the answers;
you stop asking the wrong questions
Where truth burrows
And real reveals.
Darkness stops being dark,
when you add some light
:)
