Enigma

In the eyes of the foolish
a fool am I.
In the eyes of the wise
a sage.
In the eyes of the old and young alike
I'm forever without age.
In the eyes of the pure
I'm innocence.
In the eyes of evil I'm flawed.
In the eyes of those who seek their truth
they see in me their god.
You see what you know.
You don't know what you see.
You seek to remember, not learn.
And those who've seen the truth of me
for more of the truth they'll yearn.
If I'm without end
both forward and back
for all eternity,
then how can you say
with faith and belief
I ever started
to BE?
