Beyond

Man feels himself 'kept' down but most don't realise that gravity is not the problem.

I lift my eyes so high.

I stretch far out to clasp

To myself the stars,

To condense them

To a page of understanding.

Inscribed across night's black sheet,

Just beyond the reach of touch,

Scintillating cyphers shimmer and pulse.

Faintly I hear, just,

"Not yet for you,

Too far, too much."

I love this, great writing - the experience of human existence and the never-ending search for the meaning of it all. I like how you put those words

Thank you Xuul - the meaning has been revealed. We need to understand how to live it.
Go well

I like this one. Creative use of words and thought. great word pictures. It's easier to understand for my poor brain than your other 2.
