Uncommon are the necessary
Common denominators of thought
That can unlock the prison of mind
As is irreducible
This eternal enigmatic maze
As our personal stories unwind
Deity becomes accessible
In the privacy of heart
But lost upon the multitudes
Of religions so far apart
And this too shall pass
Is but wisdom of the weak
As we're locked in a free fall
Hoping to land on our feet
And perhaps I know nothing
Of tears that fill your eyes
Or hearts that beat in suffering
Or the arrogance of human pride
But I will not lie to myself
Or pretend that I am special
I am but a molecule
Just a single particle...
