Untitled Poem by Nicola Bowes

You look at me with lost eyes
as though I know the answers
All the answers to all the questions
you have ever asked
I am human like you…
A mere mortal
with the same capacity for understanding, compassion and knowledge
I am in no way above you…
In fact I also have questions
some answers I will die without

But you, you are some of my answers
You are not as lost as you perceive yourself
The world is not as misdirecting as it appears to be

Open your mind and let it in
Open your eyes from within
