When realists dream...

Some see the world as finite
with clear boundaries and borders
and beginnings and endings
Others view it as infinite
and border-less
with no alpha or omega
And still others
perhaps you and me
see the world as both
We're realists and dreamers
always testing boundaries and borders
wondering what came before beginnings
and after endings
Asking the alpha and omega
to meet us half way
Our safety net is a clear sense of reason
like the safety thread that trails
behind a jumping spider
as it tests its own boundaries
and borders
while foraging for food
and exploring its sense of purpose
