Visions Verses Veracity

What I weight as real and true
is so often determined by the feelers
of the five senses
as they feed their information
unto the mind
and thus we know it is genuine
because of the data received.

But that is only the façade of the world
each layer that surrounds,
still inside the brain digests,
analysis and gleams for the profound
for we know there are facets and features
that lie beyond what we experience
like places we’ve never visited,
yet know exist by some means,
which our minds accept.

Ever ascending on that lattice of thought
are the rungs of insight
with each step another level in understanding.

They lead us to appreciate
there is more to life and all that thrives
than can be encountered
by the range of our senses
and that is the realm of more speculation
since it lies beyond the physical reference.

So we indulge in the assertions
each of us assessing their worth
according to our own values.

Though ultimate truth,
the absolutely undeniable veracity
is a portal through which we don’t always reach.

For it will for us depend
if we embrace issues such as life after death
where it is only understandable
any abiding factors that rule
are something we will never perceive or accept,
except as a matter of theory and conviction
until we are eventually in the domain
they cohabitate as governing elements.
