Interpretations.
Manifestations.
Reflections.
Reflections
of understanding.
Comprehension
of infinity.
Cloistered
in a tiny
place.
Encased
in immensity.
Mind boggling
immensity.
Stories.
Grand buildings.
Scaffolding
attempts
to explain
what can
not be
explained.
Humanity
as constituted
best efforts.
Holding
together
civilization.
Providing
stability
to grand
uncertainty.
Global
religions.
Cathedrals
to the
great
unknown.
Trouble is a bird
That flies into your lives
It makes a nest
Out of glass and knives

It cuts you up
And digs in deep
Thier talons keep you up
As you try to sleep

It whispers lies
From it's crooked beak
And circles your thoughts
Won't let you speak

But just like a bird
It will soon fly free
All troubles will leave
If you wait patiently

I wish I could show you,
The sparkle in your eyes.
The same one you're afraid
people won't regard.
as they close their eyes in the rare moments
when you show it just a little
But I wish I could tell you,
it's not because they despise it
but the sparkle in your eyes!?
Its Blindingly Bright
You are the God of endings and beginnings.
so thank You, for every thing You bring to completion through the running of its course.
thank You, that if things end, there is hope for new beginnings.
