Imagination

I know I often rail against science--
but, actually, I love it!
Started with science,
the grasp was easier
and the tangible truth
pleasant when sweet
like the bitter/sour
proportional to 
my elicited response--

and science lead me to spirit;
to a driving force
without boundaries--
memories spanning generations:

In the animal
we call them instinct;

in the human,
we call them
religion and god--

My preference is
to speak to them direct,
a rapport 
exceeding 
the universe….

Wow! Joe I love this deeply thought provoking poem. The first half of your poem beautifully sets the tone for the second half of your poem, which is profound, intriguing, captivating and keeps me lingering in thought and re-reads and more thoughts.. Your poem had captured my imagination hook, line and sinker :) A brilliant write! Warmest wishes my friend. ~Susan
