i’ve come to understand
that life begins and lives
in the unpredictability.
the eyes
that once glistened
with wonder.
now darkened
with experienced despair.
the principles
have lost its power.
the laws
their meaning.
the purpose
blurred between the lines.
only for
questions to live.
the constant desire
to wonder is
where dreams live.
but reality
is our universe.
i thought
i understood.
i’ve come to understand
that i never will.
