Forgotten divinity,
useless clues,
SET-in-a-box,
trapped for the hard-up expression.
"No way out?"
Dead end?
This is not the Beginning
This is...
Yes - passage of process,
everlasting clues
in the 'stone'.
But stabbing them will destroy them.
Maybe that stone will respond
to a gentler examination.

"Am I the stone?
Is the Universe the stone?"
Yes ...
and Know.
"Now?"
No!
PATIENCE!
The older you get,
the less patient you are.
and you were never patient
to begin with.
That's HARD -
as hard as that perceived stone -
and, NO!
Stabbing it will not penetrate it.
Put out the call,
Let it dissipate to the corners.
Something will return,
and it won't just be an echo.
Patience!
Patience!
Patience!
You say you are 'old',
but you are young
and spirit knows this.
Trust the unveiling of time.
Your hands
will be the ones to gently unveil it.
GENTLY!
is the clue.
