We Are the Truth

We Are The Truth

No vocal cords disturbed the air;
none said “Let there be light.”
There were no cords.
There was no air.
There was only might.

The thing itself comprised the word;
the thing revealed the might.
It was not cords.
It was not air.
It was only light.

The truth’s not what we say it is;
it’s only that which is.
Say what we want,
it’s not the truth;
but our saying of it is.
