XII : TMC : The Human Experience

by Shin

 

 

 

                         In the exercise with marble,

                        Comes considerable insight,

                        Into the nature of possibilities,

                        That transcends our human bodies,

                        Complaints of ' it's hard,' ' difficult,'

                        Are witnessed by the ideal of youth,

                        Our measure of what is possible,

                        Is by inference extended and compared,

                        With the times of old and that of the new,

                        Each shortcoming is addressed, repaired,

                        Until the issue of one's best is re-learnt,

                        Then the human is encouraged to try harder,

                        In a new measure of standards that's startling.

                        Man himself becomes his philosopher, priest,

                        And on to associating with gods, kings,

                        Until we redefine the human experience,

                        Thereafter, the son of man has no place to rest his head,

                        Till he breaks the mold from whence he came,

                        And refashions his skills in the task of life.

                        He crosses deep crevices, climbs high mountains,

                        Swims the oceans and battles the greatest monsters,

                        All in a day's work, not stopping for praise,

                        Nor rewards but to be a part of the will,

                        That shaped us from the start and to know,

                        That it is I from the beginning of time.
