Chasing the Untimate

Truth is not a bean count.
it's not static, not fixed.
It is ever expanding.

We have no hope
of ever gabbing hold of it.

The sky is all around us,
it has a hundred faces,
that flow away as it is studied.

At times,
the thoughtful might wonder
if they are the fish
or the fishbowl?

Man takes a snapshot of his life,
that still-life, turns to water.
The ultimate is beyond,
always beyond.

Truth is an ever-growing
image of itself,
a vision forever seen
from the mind of a goldfish.
