Where We Might Fit
by Michael Doyle

Wherever we go,
However, we might grow,
It's in our souls
Light is accentuated by shadow.

The universe invites us to explore,
To reach out to find something more.
In this, we find an explanation,
And sometimes, we happen on new civilizations.

Among the things first learned,
Is that beyond the need that is discerned 
Is that in being unburdened by hesitation, 
Sometimes brings us to the deeper questions.

From these, we feel as we yearn
Is the magnitude of what's left to learn.
This, then, is how we come to socialize
And through this, we grow more wise.

Sometimes expectations go off path.
They go so badly, you have to laugh.
The human soul is achingly beautiful,
To recognize this is something wonderful.

One must know the language to communicate.
It is how understanding passes its own test.
We determine who we will be without certainty,
And we communicate to narrow down possibility.

As we define new terms that we are born to teach.
In these, we distinguish the limits that we will reach.
It's about learning where we best fit,
And that is the reality of life - all of it.
