Outside the Box

I live inside a tiny box

It’s dark and filled with paradox

Outside the ego’s confined space

A boundless universe awaits

As empathy erodes these walls

My isolation soon dissolves

First pin holes start which let in light

Blinding at first, then truth ignite

Awakening all to reveal

The walls in which soul lies concealed

Till breaches open portals 

To another worlds majestic views

The crumbling ceiling overhead

Shows canopy of heaven spread

Then all division of Self fades

The parallel universe of the sage
