Glass Darkly

Glass
darkly.
Reflections.
Perceptions
of creation.
Shadows
on a cave
wall.
What
can be
known,
understood?
Human
pictographs,
of creation,
reality.
Perception 
shackled,
stunted.
Words,
concepts,
thoughts.
Reflections
of a
finite 
vision.
Hieroglyphics
of  
creation.
Through
a glass darkly
we walk.
Reflections
of tiny
scope.
Snarling
righteous
little beasts.
What fools
we mortals
be.
