The Enormity of Existence, Part 3
I shudder
in this great sleep
to awaken--
to understand,
to see,
to know.
Why the mind?
Grasping a bit here,
a bit there--
the pieces
never, never
to come together.
Why do we long,
And what is it
we long for:
the light of God--
all we need,
all we want--
to bask in it,
the one true
luxury.
Yet darkness clings
to us even in the
brightest daylight.
