This Voyage Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

This voyage,
Of a mind odyssey...
Personally begun and travelled.
Continues to get more adventurous.
As long held beliefs,
Slowly fade away from limits kept.

And experiences to reminisce them,
Broadens an unquenching thirst.
Curiosity does not stop.
A hunger for more,
Seems never to be appeased.
An appetite to explore becomes...
Craved.

What's beyond the Universe?
Perfect and timeless.
Majestic and yet,
Seems to have an infinite process,
Of its own alone to condone.

What's beyond this cosmic magic?
That has picked Earth for life.
As we observe the seeding.
The feeding.
The blossoming to bloom.
Wither to decay.
Then away from us this life goes.
But...
From here to where,
Is this awareness taken?
What is 'It' that determines,
This gift of life...
Will always leave,
Unanswered questions to ask.
Yet tasks to complete.
Just to keep those curious teased.

This voyage,
Of a mind odyssey...
Personally begun and travelled.
Begins without an ending.
Or an ending that continues.
But to where from here,
Does one who travels go?
To not know yet kept teased.
