Impossibility

It is said there is a wall
So high and beyond count,
Described as being far too tall
For mind or matter to surmount.

What can be done seems limited by
What hands can touch and eyes can see.
Yet what lights beyond the shadows lie,
What truth beyond the horizon be?

What eyes don’t see, seems out of reach
To mechanism, man, or mind.
Though some great visions are the dream
Of those who are completely blind.

It’s said starlight cannot exceed,
Time through distance that must be
The limit which, for now, proceeds
A constant through infinity.

But those intrepid souls that seek
What eyes or thoughts still cannot reach,
And do not submit, nor remain meek
When challenged by the chasm deep.

A universe, now, may be large or small;
Our dreams but the shore of a vast unexplored sea.
Discovery dwells on horizon dark,
And light may leap past relativity.

Those whose eyes are young and bright
May be starting on the brink
Of a journey that just might
Find a truth we cannot now think.

Whatever it is that just can’t be!
In my own venturing mind
May just be waiting for discovery,
For impossibility…is yet to be defined.
