Ocean Within

Every day I learn something new about myself

because I hunger for that knowledge

as though it were bread on the shelf

and I am only eight years old!

So, in comparison to what I would like to discover about myself

What I know now, as deep as it may often seem (to me),

 is nothing but a drop in the ocean that is within me.

I am nothing like the 3 monkeys

I am not afraid to HEAR

 What is SAID when people SEE things

I can only connect with others through feelings,

It is a language I forever yearn to understand

even when emotions are spilling.

To me, nothing is ever lost down the drain,

rather, it becomes the very material,

 from which other dreams are made.

 No man can live who looks God in the face

we can only know ourselves bit by bit.
