Beyond

Beyond what we see,
there is more.
Beyond what we feel,
there is more to feel.
Beyond our universe
is another
and yet another
and so it goes.

Beyond the speed of sound
is the speed of light,
then, the speed of our ability
to understand,
to communicate,
to believe,
to know that deep in our soul
we are not alone, that we are
but an infinitesimal part
of an unseen whole.
A concept
beyond our ability to reason.

Each of us individually
is a grain
of whatever it is to be human,
and tho' we strive, we fail.
When reaching for the stars
our weakness is
debris upon the path,
but we continue reaching
knowing that--

Beyond what we see,
there is more.
Beyond what we feel,
there is more to feel.
Beyond our universe
is another
and yet another
and so it goes.
