Dimension

Up and down, back and forth, left and right,
    Before and after; which way to go?
        Does this describe a needed direction,
            That space and time seem to flow?

The scales of these concepts, extend
    Well beyond what any can see.
        In a universe that remains untethered,
            Like wild dogs running amuck, & we're the fleas!

Within limits, our rhetoric uses reference arrows,
    Such as, parallel and phase, to point the way.
        While adding confusion to the chaos;
            Is God shuffling cards for the next play?

This exploration allows many pathways,
    Seeking a place we might understand.
        Yet as dimensions come and go, our imaginations
            Will keep pace, as if masterfully planned.

Thank you Victor for the comment, I only hope that it promotes thoughtful discussion, rather than arguments.
