We have explored
the continents,
the oceans,
though not completely,
and the universe
that we can reach.
We have explored
our bodies
and our minds,
though we’re not done,
but isn’t it time
for our final frontier:
the human spirit-soul?
What gives us dreams
that we then achieve?
What keeps us going
despite impossible odds?
How can we survive
the un-survivable?
And, why
will we risk our life
for someone else,
loved one or unknown?
We do it all the time,
“Of course. Why not?”
Are we fools?
Or, is there something more,
some great attitude we have
which spurns us on
to do for others,
more than ourselves?
What is this?
Why do we?
Why don’t we know
more –
the human heart?
