Read people like you would a page
Not as a character or empty thing,
But as an author themselves
Of an entire library
Find the story beneath, the twist in the plot
But never skim through the soul
It is there that beauty is found
Read cover to cover, crease the spine
See each human with words
And give language to they that have none
Turn up the volume, give them a voice
Speak against another fiction
And live to create truth and wisdom
Search the world until you have an answer
Voice the questions and demand righteousness
Never bend backwards, only forwards with fight
Emptiness comes from science,
Fullness comes from true discovery
There is no mystery
Where you dare to show your heart
Like a beautiful whisper in a strange and vivid dream
Explore, wander and travel through time
To discover what lies between poetry and prose
Fight the old emptiness, escape from the drama
Discover good and then begin again.
~N. Mollenhauer
