Afar

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Jan 29, 2020 

From afar.
Approaching
from afar.
A distant
place.
A different
place.
Slowly moving.
Moving
toward
an unknown.
Small,
so small
it seems
from afar.
Moving
closer, seeing
more.
Strange.
Different, alien.
Closer still
frozen in
structure
belief.
Local belief.
Convinced in
its place.
In its tiny
place.
Closer still.
Writhing structure.
Writhing in
Ignorance.
Ignorant
yet sure,
so sure of
truth.
Knows not
of truth.
Knows not
of much
at all.
