When will I fall into You
my wisdom overcome by its
infinite lacking
?
A child crawling could see you more clearly
A new perspective will
discover a world
My striving is not what completes me
Will I always be a blind man stumbling
on the level ground
?
I cannot light the way in my own strength
Open my eyes that I might
gaze upon the obvious
Have I wasted my time constructing an
edifice to the unknown, when it
stands right before me
?
The answer must be too simple, and I
being too learnèd, will not
stoop to its splendor
One day, when I find that I am
much smaller than I thought I was
i will come
tumbling
down
just like
the walls
of Jericho.

A/N: I thought about writing a whole explanation about what I was trying to say with this poem, but then I decided against it. I'm gonna wait and see what everyone thinks about it first. Usually people comment somehow on what they thought the message was, so I'll read the reviews, and then add a chapter on what it really was about. I'm interested to see where you all take it… = )
