Below All Names

We often live like shadows,

suffering from stories never

told and songs never sung.

Though, even shadows vanish

with enough light. And truth

remains a perception revealed

by time.

To live a full life, we are called

to participate in everything, while

accepting that we control nothing.

So, with nothing left to say, I

explore the wonder in silence

and try to net the stars with

thoughts of the beginning.
