two things

two things I am certain of:
the relationship between God and man:
[me and you],
as Essential as it is Impossible.

scientists use the word 'assymmetric'.
If it means 'lopsided' then it describes us well.
everything good, everything creative,
however tortured it may seem,
springs directly from our impossible love.

whilst man's physical limits are as tiny as any creature
his imagination knows no such bounds.
without recourse to the darkness of faith,
[the cloud of unknowing],
this disparity leads either to cosy fantasy,
or to disillusion and despair.
