What do we have
Of face?
Of value?

An everglade
Of everlaid
Dispositions
And positions

Between us we have
An endless surmise
Of anything under
These shared skies

We play a hand
We divide the land
We constantly wonder
Where it is we stand

We stand where ever
We stand forever
So why can we not
Stand here together?

Fools for the detail
We constantly flail
Batting away reason
Until we force it to fail

Why are we caught
With such short eyes?
When we could be beginning
To just realize

That real things of matter
Are bigger than us
Why can't we fathom
The thought of endless? [comments] => 7 [counter] => 240 [topic] => 43 [informant] => xnoybis [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 22 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Add my name to the list of those that see much logic embedded here. Gah... we're all so obsessed with the now now now! that we often can't see the forest for the trees (and I used "we're" rather loosely there, for the record).

Endlessness. It's a highly appealing perspective to operate from, I'd say.

Finding this thought provoking,
