A Single Human Soul
Have you heard this song?
All humanity an ocean and have you heard this song?
Can you recognize a tune that changes every time
because everyone who has breathed has breathed
a tune like this and felt the flow in some part?
Or maybe this is an ocean as a human soul, a
single
human
soul
Do you believe in such a thing? A single human soul?
Maybe not, and maybe it is all one, but I can't seem
to shake the thought that even that is over-simplified.
The day you grasp it, you are God; you will never be god.
You see, we cannot explain or define, like trying to
explain a field filled with fireflies using 20 in a jar;
We can only hope to describe the edges, to travel them
with fingertips of something beyond our fingers.
You want to know the start, you want to see the end;
you wish to draw the line for “infinite” and contain
whatever could create a world this complex within
the understanding of your spec on this timeline.
Be quiet; be content; be as you are where you are.
