We scoured ceilings, walls, and floors
in search of spaces, breaks, or doors,

so we'd be free of what divides
obscures, forbids, deceives, or hides.

A slit of sun delivered skies,
disclosing what escaped our eyes:

the wider world we've never seen,
the measureless, and what's between.

A simple window was our goal,
enough light to revive a soul

and show us where some truth had passed
or answers lived for questions asked.

Such revelations beckoned there,
beyond our earth, that sea, the air!

It humbles us to come so far
then start to wonder where we are.
