Meaningless Shapes

No combination of 26 symbols can explain reality.

Manmade words only display manmade reality.

No way to speak the truth I see.

The knowledge I have.

The lacking you walk with.

All you thought you knew is nothing.

Nothing compared to what you don't know.

I know.

I know you see constructed truth.

The box of safety.

Expectations.

Untruths.

I see the space you can't fill.

I see you want to breathe, breathe with me.

I see you, see me.

See me and I will show you.

Set your box aside first.

Set it away, out of reach. Pretend it gone.

'Cause once you know.

You can never not know.

God.

Universe.

Energy.

Truth.

It's inside you.

Not your box.

Words are not enough, we must see.

Truth is in the experience of the emotion.

Words will never be enough to explain the truth.

Manmade words only display manmade reality.

No combination of 26 symbols can explain reality.
