Explorers

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?
