Morning light illuminates the path; my eyes drink in the quiet splendor.
Though I feel no calming rays, I am immersed in tranquility.
When the wind rushes toward my face, I flinch as if struck by its hand.
Yet never have I set a foot in that place of serenity.
But cannot life be truly told within the stories I behold?
What is their cause, if not my heart to grow?
The world bears the darkness of souls and the lightness of being.
Yet why should I fear that which holds such beauty?
The sphere of my existence widens each day in awe,
Deepened by views of worlds that never were, yet ever, ever are.
