Is this the way it is? The way I fear it to be.

As I move forward with time,

along with the circle of all the knowns

the circle of the unknown is also expanding.

the more I travel toward the horizon

the more distant it seems to me

the more closer I go

the more far-off it seems

and I wonder at times,

if reality is comprehensible?

Is it perceptible?

Or is it the way I fear it to be?

the more you understand

the more hollow you become

the more empty it gets

the more lonely it feels

is the reality in continuous flux?

and consciousness ever-evolving

the more you grow, the more it expands

with endless horizons one after another

is this the way it is?

The way I fear it to be.
