Contemplation

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Nov 30, 2023 

Contemplation.
Only one
species
on earth.
Only one.
Contemplates.
Muses.
Wonders.
Questions.
Barely
out
from the
primitive.
Limited
perspective.
Finite
capacity.
Searches
creation.
Searching
for truth.
Answers.
What
questions?
Right
questions?
Complex
questions?
Beyond
potential as
constituted.
Tries
nonetheless.
Homo sapiens.
Whistling
in the
dark.
Penlight
in the
void.
Barely
there.
Truth,
real truth.
Beyond
contemplation.
