the way we think

it's important to think of things that do not exist.

in our current realities
or maybe ever
things that fly away like a bat out of hell
and we're not quite sure if we should follow them.

or
stay behind
in the cave
dark and damp and
small.

the light beckons
and though we don't know what it means, we know
this one truth:
it is the difference between where we are now
and where
we could
be.


because we exist
in a whole new way today
than we did yesterday
or even a minute ago
if we let ourselves
walk
into the light.
