Too Simple Terms

TOO SIMPLE  TERMS

SIMPLE TERMS

Absence of all, somewhere I am,
At the infancy of the well measured.

I’ve tasted the honey,
But don’t know how is made.
I’ve constructed a shack,
Without plans or foundations.
I’ve wondered how the river flows,
While fishing with my bare hands.

I look from below at the work of the greats,
Knowing so well I’ll never be there.

I think to myself in too simple terms.
