Dreamer

This resides within us all,

A belief, that, more is there.

Looking at the skies so tall,

Now viewing, our tools we wear.

See it all, yet don't understand.

Within us grows this fire,

And unable to comprehend,

Still yet this great desire.

We send men into places,

Those where we long to be.

Hoping they will find traces

Of things we can barely see.

Stars, they are innumerable.

Galaxies, we're unaware.

Our knowledge is comparable

To only what we can share.

For knowing we are greedy.

Our rockets they have blown.

Of understanding, we are needy,

Little our tools have shown.

Watching what we can only dream,

Technology with a blast.

Imagining is our scheme,

In attempts to forget our past.

There has got to be something,

Greater than what we see here.

And these hopes are not soothing,

Unsatisfied, the dreamer.

Too much for us to explore,

We are not given the time.

Whole lives to sit and wonder,

Regards to this reason and rhyme.

Lives end before we gather,

That which does not satisfy.

Only if we would rather,

Our lives, them, to glorify.

Creation that we wonder,

Its existence we can enjoy.

Consider the Creator,

His dialogue, may we employ.

His words - New expedition.

This challenge, just as vast.

This brings to us contrition,

Thus, sorrow on Him, we cast.

Our journey still similar.

Now knowledge a posession.

Though we don't see from afar,

This sight a slow progression.

Maker of stars, and heavens

Bringing healing to our scars.

Removing all that leavens,

Including our sin, that tars.

Desire that brought us here,

It resides within us all.

With knowledge, we need not fear,

Our desire, it is a call.

Our tools were never needed.

The fire, finally quenched.

Of knowledge that we pleaded,

Understanding that we wrenched.

With Him we'll be forever.

For exploring we have time.

The love of our Creator,

Exceeding what this may chime.
