The Crater of Truths

I'm once again falling in this depression.

I was told, "don't walk too close from that crater.
Many have been excavating the truths from this Earth,
Men have searched for the mysteries of the heavens,
And look how deep their excavations have become.

Now Fear, the height. Fear, the depth.
For if by walking too close from that crater,
(That deep hole that you see there,
With no end...)

Your foot may trip. And with your foot,
your whole body may tumble down
into that hole of vastness.

You'll find yourself falling in desperation
Just falling without fully comprehending the depths
found within the walls of that crater.

And while falling, you'll pray to reach the end!

But there is no end, no bottom, no nothing,
You'll fall and fall, helplessly, and in lamentation.

You'll try to hold from anything, from any rock,
your hand will try to grabbed from anything, from any rock,
But there'll be nothing, just a hole of vastness.

A vastness
that your mind won't comprehend
And you'll be falling, and falling,
in this depression.

But if by chance, you find yourself walking too close from this crater,
And it's not just curiously that accompanies you,
Then be prepare to excavate and explore,
Not just the walls
but the depths and the vastness

If not, you'll fall and fall,
But all you'll find is nothing.
