What Explanation
An illusion of a sought inexplicable
How does one explain the impossible
Surely that of fantasy
A childlike personality
Hysterically
Mistaken for what is not real
Impossible too feel
EMOTIONLESS
What trobling thought
Narrow minded being
Can not comprehend what the eye not seeing
Making mockery of true belief
Surely too know is the greatest relief
ALAS GLORIOUS
The wonder-the worry- the wanting ceases
One of the great releases
Surely one cannot compare to the explicit joy
That once was destined to desroy
The breath of life breathed into the soul
Once empty-now made whole
ECSTASY
