how we want to define
the unknown state of mind
our thoughts dwell on empty lines
to bring a closure we’ll never find


it’s so simple it’s absurd
the power of a single word
the infinite expanse of time
created by the love we wish to find


it’s a mystical little feat
wondering if God can answer
the questions we seek
and give us what we need to believe


but there’s no way to box up our whole life
to comprehend this the miracle of being alive
and so we take a breath
and distract ourselves in the time that’s left


until we see the light of lights
and realize that teacher who smiles
at all the ways we try to name
this moment when we proclaim
an awakening to life’s mysterious game


there is no closure
there is no beginning or an end
just this infinite energy given
as a blessed moment God lends
