out into the darkness we gaze
stars after stars we see
constellations we find once
they have been point out to us;
out into the light we gaze
clouds after clouds we see
some are round while there
ae others that are stringy;
out into our mind we search
thoughts after thoughts confronted
the stakes of knowledge are clear
leaving home with none of it;
out into life itself we venture
obstacle by obstacle we encounter
some are easy while others hard
yet we venture forward nonetheless;
out into death we succumb
allowing our last breath to pass
and with our eyes we notice not
that you have always been with us.
