The Amazing Gap

A lone bird flying high above

Feels proud of

Having conquered the vast space;

Little does it realize that

It is only a tiny speck in the sky,

Or only a wave in the eternal sea.

As I behold it,

I am only reminded

Of the vastness of the empire

Yet to be traversed by it,

Like my own soul’s

Extent of unfinished

Spiritual flight.
