Not, Not Whats There

There’s much I’ve learned, or else been taught, in actuality are not
Control of actions and perceptions these I’ve mostly not

The paths of lights from worlds above seem straight, in truth are not
The speed of light is constant whether counters move or not

A pussycat in box is dead yet live, this can be not
To have one’s cake and eat it is a want that one cannot

They say there is a holy one but see we just cannot
Communicate with those who’ve passed they think but teally not

There is another sense I feel but know this I cannot
THIS DREAM THAT TIME HAS BIRTHED I must live but fathom not

LIfe is so full of things that we cannot imagine or comprehend. It is good to let one's mind drift to poetic thoughts like these!!
