There are things that are out of our hands, and times that we cannot control.
Places that cannot be seen, and knowledge that can never be known.
Questions that can never be answered, truths that can never be told.
Thoughts that can never be thought of, and chances that we can’t behold.
And yet we have tried to control it, and see the places unknown.
Work an entire lifetime, on knowledge that we dare try to know.
When one could just breathe and wonder, for it’s a gift, that we’ve been bestowed.
But to want what we can’t have, is the only thing that we truly know.
