The Entry



The Entry


Narrow is the gate into the kingdom of beauty and wonder
Yet within the way is very, very broad
In fact, it is eternal
It dances in the clouds
It moves into the depths like the waters
It is older than the mountains
Yet younger than the sky
It moves on without hesitation
Never stopping at the why
It is blue as blue is meant to be
It is promise of coming life
The entry may be narrow and hard
Yet within there is no strife
So don’t mistake the universe for the entry
Don’t settle down where there is no room
Keep stepping toward the bluest depths
Where the sun always rests at noon

answer


answer

so often we want answers in black and white
yet that is not how they come
that isn’t how it was designed
sure it makes it so much simpler
because things are so much simpler when they’re dead
so our answers come not at all
or when they do
they’re red and yellow
still missing some points
but that is not the point
the point is to enjoy the beauty and the wonder
as it contrasts against our blacks and whites
living things amongst the dead
the answer comes in yellow and red
