At the start  
before experience    
there was infinite possibility    
A sphere of potential energy    
beaming out evenly in all directions    
   
Each interaction thereafter    
both detracts and enhances    
dulling the orb in patches    
as other parts shine brighter    
   
Experience narrowing the view point    
Zooming further and further in    
condensing the glow    
to a handful of highly focused channels    
emanating from the shadow cast surface of unfulfilled potential    
   
   
     It may seem prudent    
     to avoid experience altogether    
     to learn nothing    
     so anything is possible    
     however improbable    
     Living naively on    
     in the meandering light of neutrality    
     seeing nothing beyond your own sphere    
   
     This existence dims quickest    
     Slimming fast the view    
     and your chance for chances      
     What could have been    
     would have been you    
     in this realm of hypothetical circumstances    
   
   
Time stops for no one    
Opportunities are inevitably    
left undiscovered    
while the seconds pass    
   
Until eventually, we omit all our energy    
at a single point    
the culmination of our entire being    
stretched out across the void of space    
A beacon of hope in the seemingly empty abyss    
guiding from the darkness    
to where we aim our gaze
