Universe of Knowledge 
Two days ago I laid in the dew covered
grass on the night of a full moon
contemplating the meaning of life.
Losing count of the stars sometime after two hundred,
I finally gave up and headed for my room
before spotting a shooting star pass by Aquarius.
Of course I again became interested...
Laying down again feeling the dew soak into my shirt,
I discovered that as much as I was interested in
seeking out my origins, I couldn't help but
be distracted by the seeping cold in my back.
This brought to me the fact that I am only human.
Even Plato, against his own will, had to realize
that although man is in constant search of knowledge,
this world of physical senses will always be in
the way to distract our path to enlightenment.
Realizing my present fate on Earth,
I finally gave into my senses and fell asleep
Staring at the uncharted Universe.
