frozen light
suspended in time
frozen dreams
imagined and sublime
early morning
darkness slowly abates
consciousness quickens
the sleeper awakes
transitory perceptions
visions left behind
worlds hidden
from the mind
harken voyagers
with limited epistemology
think upon
this construct ‘reality’
hidden variables
your models eschew
vulgar unobservables
an ontological stew
pray consider
strict materialists all
something lost
in man’s Fall
fragile understanding
truth or lies
trusting naught
with Positivist eyes
pray Science
thou informest men
unresolved e’er
why arrogance then
temporal prison
the philosopher’s derision
what then
make a decision
amazing grace
destroys any wall
have faith
Christ restoreth all
bright transcendence
the universe clear
bright belief
nothing to fear
