The Constitution of Wonder

All good things are found
in the constitution of wonder,
or that which is furtively engraved
into form, fanciful or firm.
It takes two things to find the hallowed script:
a tireless optimism and the intelligence of the heart.
The intellect is incapable due to
its secluded hemispheric viewpoint.
It sees water and schools of fish,
but not the ocean-as-is.
The senses are incapable because
they're servile to the intellect.
They see what the ego advocates, not what
the ego ignores.

A tireless optimism creates courage
and the intelligence of the heart opens
the gates of ecstasy.
Beyond the gates, the constitution of wonder
remains untrodden, untouched.
Let's go there for the words that can transform
all the ruinous nations.
Let's bring back what we can.
