They said that it could not be done,
There was nothing beyond the sea,
Nothing revolved around the sun,
And with his love he could never be.
They were stubborn on where they did stand,
Unbelieving in undreamed shores.
But the mind that thinks up uncharted land,
Unmoving ships of thought it abhors.
They believed in only actions skilled,
Numbers and figures calmed the crowds,
But there are no rules on how to build
A castle in the clouds.
If a machine replacement is able to be thought
Of they whose minds worked as a robot,
They missed those things of which they sought.
Things are only impossible until they’re not.
This poem is romantic in the way of putting imagination and feeling over reason. It advocates imagination and things that might not exactly be considered logical over a skeptical mind and reason.
