Mysteries- Known & Unknown

One can know what lies beneath
The deepest oceans of the world,
Where the waters hold their breath,
And hidden treasures are unfurled.
In the densest forests, dark and vast,
Where no light can ever pass,
The secrets of the earth are found,
Silent whispers all around.

But not know what's in the hearts,
Not know what's in the minds,
Of the humans we walk beside,
Their truths are hard to find.
The language of nature we understand,
But the soul of man slips through our hands.

What’s there on the horizon's line,
Where the sky meets the earth divine?
We chase the dawn, we seek the light,
Unraveling mysteries through the night.
In the winds and in the rain,
We hear the world’s soft refrain,
But the heart of man remains unknown,
A place where we can never roam.

We decode the stars, the moon's soft glow,
The rhythm of rivers that endlessly flow.
But when we look into each other's eyes,
The greatest mystery still lies...
