Ecclesiastes 7:24 

24 Whatever has happened is beyond human understanding;
it is far deeper than anyone can fathom.

 

United

 

As night and day are in embrace,

are they perhaps divided?

Death and life in the human race

are they both inspired?

 

Is admitting and denying

your own will to plunder?

Knowing that close and far 

don't really start up yonder.

 

Perspective seems to start with me

and ends up in my understanding.

The only distance between my ears

where it travels under-handed.
