Analysis of IMAGINE THE UNKNOWABLE
Imagine the unknowable,
Its bitter waters
Spray through your mind.
You anticipate
The unknown, imagining
The unknowable.
You're imagining
The unimaginable,
In your fervid dreams.
Then you contemplate
The uncontemplatable,
In your dizzy life.
You're reconciling
The unreconcilable,
In this broken world.
Are you destroying
The indestructible,
By power of mind?
Then you're performing
The unperformable
In your daily routine.
If you can imagine
Must it be possible?
Or merely sometimes?
THE END
