This is complex to say the least. i am trying to decipher each stanza, but I think the complexity is the point here. One in all the same? Underlining different sides of of spirituality? Or the universe in which we live. The bigger picture, yet we are in existence .. I could be off here. I did read this over and over as suggested by you :)
The mystery of what lies ahead, the complexity of life? A truth within ourselves?
Oh John, this is a wonderful write, and you have me pondering on this.... In which I may have to come back to....

"The lips of wisdom are closed,

Usually, when I read an enigmatic poem, I feel an inner resentment and impatience. Oddly, I didn't experience that with this poem. It didn't feel pompous, but lovingly fun with serious intent very evident. The universe is telling me to put it in my favorites and read, as suggested.
The way you wove the words of this is spectacular. It's like a tapestry within a tapestry, a multilayered painting where parts of the picture bleed off into a symphony and then become thought, taste and touch. Excellent.
What you describe herein ties perfectly into something I read before about multiple layers of reality, making all paradoxes not merely possible, but factual. This is so very deep...
Definitely going into my favorites list.
Have you gotten this published yet? Seriously, it needs to be. More should read this.
Masterful, my friend. Masterful.
As a random side note, the only thing that could have made it better for me is if you had somehow managed to get all of that in seven stanzas with seven lines each. Come to think of it though, I might try something like that.

Can you not understand something and still love it?
Yes is the simple answer with this poem......after reading it I feel challenged I want to solve the mystery of it.
