Behind the truth
staring deeply into the eye of God, the child sighs at sights revealed
choking her with emotions newborn
and with wonder and amazement, the child reaches into the abyss...
later, as if awaking from a dream, the child dies
and all Truths are revealed unto her infant soul
crying out the resonating song of the breathtaking beautiful creation
on the far side of truth, darkness lies
and feeling its presence, the child questions the apparition
which suddenly unfolds its mind upon her, swallowing her into its objectivity
behind the truth (the light of God's eye)
lives the dispassionate universal element of His being
and in its nature the truth is never filtered through the awareness of oneself
