Depth

Behind the veil of all knowledge and secrets
Lays a truth that isn't bound by law or logic
It exists, lives to be experienced, not known
It remains unknowable, however one tries
The species of human was born, a new fetus
An experience of living, one also symbolic
Is a journey, a path from youth to being old
And if each life does not survive this life
We are not alone in that loss, for we all die
But ask yourself how many of us truly live
And between permanence and oblivion
What is there? Is this planet all there is?
Is the secret of all how to live each day?
 Knowing what we do passes away
And then our spirit moves on.
