Analysis of Our Essence To Bear
What if the Universe has always been here,
defeating the concept of time
Never beginning and never to end,
whose story you cannot define
What if the future, present, and past,
are just crutches for the weakness we share
What if the answers lie beyond logic,
inside us—our essence to bear
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)
