But No One Knows How Far * Poem by Niki Nicholas Nkuna

What we see at a far distance without understanding
Gives hope of what is there to be seen and done
Our dreams of what is sighted and unsighted perpetuate
Imaginations stretched by the vastness of the world
The end of which remains dreams with no boundaries

The human spirit ingenuously possesses the world
That’s why dreams traverse within and reach the end of the world
Like clandestine woven strings, inventions reach far away
But no one knows how far
It may be within reach or out of reach beyond the last string
Perhaps that’s what dreams are all about
Seeing, doing and achieving or not achieving
Without letting go of the string
