Forebears
Forebears
We think we are wiser
than they were
for we possess
the knowledge they gave us
plus what we have gained on our own.
No ear whispered messages,
no revelations on paper
or carved on stone
reveal the answer,
the truth that can't be told.
We ourselves are the mystery,
the paradox,
the riddle that can't be
solved.
We wonder and probe,
contemplate and muse,
but we are never quite sure.
Somewhere is a place where
we all hold hands
and keep moving forward
toward the light
that is darkness,
the darkness that is light.
