A boat

                                             Who am I ?

                                             An ancient question.

                                             I am an culmination  of thoughts

                                             Brought together to ask this question.

                                             I am aware that I cannot grasp the

                                             whole meaning. My purpose is to tear

                                             at the formidable gate that keeps me blind,

                                             That precedes the fosse that keeps me at bay.

                                             I have a boat. A boat with which to

                                             Traverse the unknowing and attack

                                             The barriers to insight.

                                             I am seeking crewmates

                                             not to serve my captaincy

                                             but to share the same currents 

                                             tarrying towards a revelation.

                                             Upon reaching this land of potential awareness,

                                             We will work together to chip at the walls of

                                             Misunderstanding and indifference.

                                             Our best hope in our lifetime

                                             is to create a tunnel, a chasm,

                                             through which will pass our children

                                             and their children's children. 

                                             For we can never know 

                                             What our future will be

                                             But we must insure that they will.

I am seeking crewmates
not to serve my captaincy
but to share the same currents
tarrying towards a revelation.
For we can never know
What our future will be
But we must insure

ok, now this is really deep yet so obviously right in our faces. Yep, want the same thing...been making a big deal of it my whole life ...now I realize it is all right there , right in front of the scope of everyone's vision....like little children...we just have to LOOK!

Seeking the presence of others as a way to wit, perhaps answer a few questions that you harbor within yourself . . . It's very profound, well done.
