Poem: Convergence

Convergence

If I just go far enough

I’ll find it.

I set my mind in transit

augmenting vision with revision.

I begin to see the things that be

between each step past from last

to first where I began; and spanning

a seeable path now behind

I fathom

into the infinite.

If I just search long enough

It’ll be found.

Continuously searching for each bound

that frames endless names,

I begin to see a profoundly

repeating divide where I’d

make visible the invisible

realm yet ahead, contained

and spreading

into eternity.

And just enough, I stared at it

and found the limit.

Now I carry it

in my pocket.
