The eventuality of clarifications

As you age

you get to believe in things you once disbelieved in

gradually becoming unsurprised

as one by one they reveal themselves to you

your mind is connecting with improved awarenesses

shedding the old refusals to believe

bringing to light those darkened enigmas

dismantling the walls that imprison the mysteries 

and finally placing your heart and soul

where it should be

There were things that I once disbelieved in, and now have eventually changed. And there are still some things, maybe a lot of things that I don't fully believe in, and this poem makes me want to give a chance to get to know them.
Thank you for this, Leon.😊
