Side By Side

we live outside our sense and spirit

outside a world full of doubt and limit

inside our thought, inside our speech

inside our reason, inside our reach

what else is there that we could know?

what else can we think, where else can we go?

a small idea for us to grow

a short time for us to glow.

we live inside our doubt and limit

inside a world full of sense and spirit

outside our thought, outside our speech

outside our reason, outside our reach

what else is there that we can't grasp?

what else is there that we should ask?

a small glimpse for us to see

a short time for us to be.
