The Wisdom of the Infinite

I put together

fluidity needed to

meet the universe

but flowing water cannot

stay together, it just moves.

 

My experiments

now look so inadequate

in laboratories.

Knowledge can never replace

Wisdom of the soul and earth.

 

My revered books

are sliced reality

infinite

insights lie out there

beyond the telescope lens.

 

Nature invites

I accept the challenge

unconditionally

to get past limitations

and embrace reality.
