Duality's quest to find the measure of Infinity
The inability to measure the universe to an infinitely precise degree
does not negate the fact of its measurability
A finite mind is feeble in comprehending or trying to contemplate
what it considers to be exhibiting innumerability
Comparisons are found in the quantitatively delimiting verse
or the poet's declarative notation to specify boundaries
At least within some perceptions, as often the measure of matter
itself is gauged by magnitude of potential durabilities
Thus shall we start off our quest to measure infinity via materiality
without either of us engaging in poetic unmorality
The assertions of infantile humankind, that they as a race are the only intelligent and space-faring creatures
Is an undeniably laughable assumption, contrary to enlightenment are feeble cerebellum's greatest features
Hive mentality, as sorely lacking as is instantaneous feedback, a hindrance to growth, yet fodder to preachers
While through the sharing of ideas, individuals still die alone, sharing parts of self assures they die as teachers
Knowledge is both immeasurable and unattainable to closed minds, brilliance appears insane ethereal insight
The deep dreamer detaches, soaring into unimagined realms, sharing the reality of unreality absent hindsight
Attempting to make it real in the realms of things made manifest is measure of humanities co-creative birthright
Mind itself would needs be infinite for the concept of infinity to be imagined clearly as if by using third eyesight
Contemplating infinity within a polarized paradigm, is akin to stumbling into the darkness without candlelight

This is quite a read. The beginning really sets the tone; Duality's quest to find the measure of Infinity
Beautifully composed.
-
very profound....
you know, as a kid, i had..an epiphany, in this planetaruim, love the places, more enducive to universal though than a church, to just look up, to feel and see the infinate all around this poem recalls such, not an easy poem to grasp, and hey, the universe defies the understanding and guess that is the point of it, but has a beuty to slowly know as this poem does. -

without either of us engaging in poetic unmorality
The assertion, limited and self righteous, of infantile humankind
that they as a race are the only intelligent and space-faring creatures.
Is an undeniably laughable assumption, contrary to enlightenment of the hidden senses, the potential for greatness lies unexplored in feeble cerebellums.
Knowledge is immeasurable, full knowledge unattainable to closed minds,
the brilliant are labeled insane and ridiculed for their ethereal insight.
The deep dreamer detaches, soaring into hitherto unimagined realms,
sharing the reality of unreality attempting to make it real.
The hive mentality is sorely lacking, the sharing of ideas and instantaneous feedback a hindrance to rapid growth, Individuals die alone.
