Inner Space

That strange universe within
Crucible of virtue and of sin
A tangle of neurons dense
Which weaves our neural fence
Bounding where our consciousness roams
A place of darkness and of light
A place where lofty thoughts take flight
A place of depths too deep to plumb
A place where mysteries oft abound
That place where some tread on Holy ground
That place where old and new together meld
Where sometimes convictions strong are held
The realm where fantasy is brought to birth
Where our thoughts oft leave the bounds of Earth
Here we journey into worlds of broken time
It's down the rabbit hole and though the looking glass
Delights and horrors all await
In this complex place of inner space
Is this bulging knot of nerves
Just our fleeting seat of being
Or a node 'tween soul and God?
The answer awaits us at life's end
But it can be only known
If we're more than blood and bone.
Yet Hope down through history flows
That we are more than science knows.
