Matter of Faith.

We cannot share with companions
that we do not catch a glimpse
of our journey’s end,
what or where to we are going.
Like human primeval hordes
we continue to come and go
on hidden crowd’s desires,
sometimes-guileful ones.
In despite of the feeling
we are pursuing threads
in an old Greek labyrinth,
we secretly believe a sense
in such comings and goings.
Since this is matter of faith,
not suitable to science eyes,
must be kept by so little of us.
