Poem
What do I see? I see ... THE ALL ...

The chance to kiss deep the matter, dark, and merge with the macrocosm ... to
embrace the tremble of strings, like the fingertips of a lustful god, tinkling the
black keys of corporeity ... to range through dimensions, like souls through
the curtain, mortal ... to whorl nebulous with the dust of stars, and bathe in
the coruscating warble of continuance, flung ever out-ward, like sugar spun

into cotton candy ... to become all that is unseen, dense and oblique, pitching
to singularity with cold chaos ... swimming the red shift with mass, increas-
ing, and contemplate the blue variance of time, a horizon void of events, yet
full of wonder ... I see a being of light, a phantom of photons and kinetic intent,
that longs for an ethereal existence, a luminous life without restraint or conflict.

I see the chance to wander the heavens at will, and gaze upon all that creation
has imagined in its instances, all that no eye, in its grandest postulations, could
ever hope to behold ... there is no pulling of the human heart that can eclipse
the longing for knowledge, the eternal tug outward of the spirit to the Universe
unknown and unseen ... it is beyond expression and cognitive representation,

it far outweighs all the loves and wants and desires of the human spirit ...
I see the mortal veil, an indescribable distance above the acumen of every-
thing known and knowable, the preeminent postulation of all that was and
could ever be, the final expression of my senses ... I see questions: why is so
much placed at our doorstep that is so far beyond realization and imagination?

Why is so much wonder and beauty so out of reach of our comprehension and
appreciation? What IS beauty and wonder, if it can not be realized, relished or
adored?!? I see vastness unknowable, that greets our eyes as we gaze at the
heavens, or through the eyepiece of a telescope, marvels magnificent, stunning
phenomena, and spectacles of science and space that we will NEVER perceive ...

that NO creature or being with the aptitude or endowment for estimation,
will EVER realize or savor or applaud. I see no tragedy of existence more
profound ... there is no element of discernment that is sadder or more
grievous ... we have an endless bounty of wonders that stretches into
infinitude above our heads, and just enough intelligence to realize that ...

like so many things, even though we can SEE it, we will never, ever, come ...

to TOUCH it.
