Look —
Look now and here
Look later and there
Up, down, left, right

Close and far away
Back and ahead
Look tomorrow — next year
Whenever —

Forever —
There will be
There is —

Someth-ing
Noth-ing
Th-ing

-ing
Is never not
Happen-ing

Look-ing, see-ing, feel-ing
Think-ing, read-ing, writ-ing
Want-ing, remember-ing, dream-ing
Sleep-ing, liv-ing, dy-ing, be-ing

This is the bedrock of — understand-ing
Realis-ing, see-ing
Conclud-ing, express-ing, elaborat-ing
Point-ing —

You — and whatever is out there — and whatever is in here
Above or below — truth or lies
Here and beyond —

Whatever, whenever, wherever
Anyone who ever looks —
Ever sees —
Ever thinks —

Does not — cannot —
Go beyond —
-ing

Before birth, during life, after death
This is what endures
This is what sustains
This is what cannot be touched
Denied, attained, or grasped
Conceptualised, idolised —
Cast in gold or carved in stone

Yet —
Here it is —
