requiring courage

what's left of this belief that we admire
is not the claim of any noble worth
for all that we know is fixed to the earth
finding reality goes no higher
understanding matter from star to mire
provides us with both gravity and mirth
death is a miracle as much as birth
the alpha and omega are both fire
within the turning sphere that we perceive
are all the things that we could ever need
and all the worlds that we would want to see
we can't make a thing true if we believe
for what we wish is nothing more than greed
our only choices are become or be
