A universe-size onion,
Gently peeled over a lifetime,
Every smile, question, conversation,
Slowly reveal a fresh layer,
A new scent of discovery,
Coherence, clarity, understanding,
Of purpose.
Deep inside the soul, secrets hidden,
The muse shines her light to reveal them.
Query by inquiry,
They are freed from their detention,
Rise to the surface, to be redeemed,
Set free under daylight, in peace.
