Enigma

PROMPT #215

The words to lead your piece for this week are

1. unknowable
2. unexplainable

???????????

Knowledge is the driving force of my mind
I need to know the logic behind all that I believe 
Even my faith has to satisfy my thirst for knowing 
What then is unknowable or unexplainable in my world?


Like the zen philosophers, I wouldn’t want to know
What serves no purpose in this world or the hereafter 
What I cannot comprehend because it is too big an idea
To fit into the confines of my tiny brain, remains unexplained 


Is this a paradox, a contradiction that I proclaim?
I call it a practical and pragmatic approach to learning 
I know what I need or want to know and strive for it
But what is hidden from my eyes and mind, remains 
An enigma, tantalizing and exciting, always in the distance
