The Hereinbefore
©5-FEB-2019, Olan L. Smith
Trivial or important, a different star,
Who are we to contemplate you?
What right we have to hide in a drawer,
Your marvel―yet, we haven't a clue,
What's inside us, let alone
Within the universe? Arise little star
Shine your warmth through what is shown
In the night, you are exemplar!
You, the archetype of the universe,
And we the smallness of minuteness,
Lords of our own imagination. What is worse?
Knowing your nothing or thinking you're famous
Excrement in a void―less than nothing.
Expand your mind, know your true-self as more
Than flesh. However, know you are part of something
Much bigger; you're part of the Hereinbefore.
