More Simply

-More Simply-

Beautiful creatures
Irreverent speeches
Lessons for humans
Taught by teachers
Unknowingly finding
Everything that is abound
Forcing it down
Knowing better than most
Arrogant to a fault
Opening wide eyes once closed
Screaming see this those made blind
Making sense of nonsensical things
Impossible mountains of knowledge
Stand in the obtainable distance
They dare climb while others
Are just too afraid to fall
Deeper pools to draw from
Painful experiences just as fresh
As the day experienced
God above has granted them a gift
The price they must pay is steep
Unquantifiably bleak
Does indeed their existence seem
Forever they must remain alone
Social awkwardness to the bone
They speak without knowing their role
Only upon death will God above
Show them who they really are
His reasons will appear justifiable
They will not question him in death
But in life they will demand to know
The callousness of his decisions indeed hurt
Many saints must be turned sinners
Because in our world duality leads
Those within proximity much closer
Salvation has always required martyrs
Their secret God indeed keeps close
He is sure to only let them know
That there can never be
Anything more and nothing less
More simply
To be taken all in
Filling up the voids
Cramming into every divide
Flooding up to our necks
Coming quite close to death
Fear nothing of the end
Only being afraid of what
It will be like if we survive
Lingering within such fear of absolutes
We will find what we need most
Mortality for mortalities sake
Is not living at all
Existence is far more than the next breath
Existence is living for something
Far beyond our own end
A greater expansiveness
An empirical point of reference
Those with such an unknown gift
Can show us
Those chosen by God
Are meant to teach us his lesson
Seemingly archaic men of circumstance
Dolling out pertinent wisdom
Without even knowing it
More simply
Is what they often say to themselves
As they sit down to write
As they commence expressing
To them what is quite obvious
The most important parts
Of all human existence…
