Beyond the Mountains

I want to see beyond the mountains,

Know what's hiding deep in the sea,

And survey the fascinating features

Of the human heart's topography.

We can scale the towering peaks

So we can see what lies beyond,

And we can probe the ocean’s depths

To understand that giant pond.

The human heart's more problematic;

So many secrets are hidden deep.

At times its depths are hard to fathom,

Its self-protective walls too steep.

We must always keep on searching

And NOT assume that we comprehend

All that can be known, for knowledge

Has no boundaries, no end.

If going beyond our human knowledge

We tap into the Absolute,

Imagine the bliss of suddenly seeing

A transformed being taking root!
