Possible

Allow me a time to ponder softly. The power of poetry is a good tool for that.

Possible 

The edge of known is unsettling
The inky darkness seems vast
As we ponder stepping into the unknown
To find out what is there.

What we have is comfort, familiar
What we sense is challenge, maybe danger
If we do not keep moving, keep learning
To find out what is there

What we feel for is safety of the known
Yet we realize the new is untested, unknown
So the pull of gravity is toward the untested
To find out what is there

Dipping the fingertips or toes into the inky dark
Pulling in sensations of temperature, texture, space
Gives sketchy dimension to the darkness
To find out what is there

Expanding the sensations of the unknown
Is timorous inches of movement but it still
Builds understanding of the untested to help us
To find out what is there

There is no knowing, no new knowledge
Without testing, probing, feeling and questioning
Assembling vision and theory is basic
To find out what is there

Seeking is the first step of possible
Boldness allows movement
Feedback paints a picture
To find out what is there

Who is the seeker?
Who has the energy?
Who will create the image
To find out what is there?
