The Visible Thoughts Advent Calendar, Day 7

Hello again, welcome to the Visible Thoughts Advent Calendar. Today features an excerpt from the very first poem I published on this website. The poem is called From Where It Comes And Where It Goes, you can read the full version here.

“Somethings can only be
Alluded to
Evidence of their action
The only way conclusions
Can be reached through”
