Proof Or Signal

Some came with numbers in their hands,
with chalk-dust moons upon their sleeves,
and carved the dark with patient marks
until the silence learned to breathe.

Some proved the arc, the fall, the flame,
the hidden law beneath the stone;
they weighed the stars, they named the fields,
and made the unseen almost known.

But others stood at stranger doors,
where instruments began to fail,
where light behaved like memory,
and matter thinned into a veil.

They were not proof in final form,
not pillars sealed in marble white,
but signals crossing through the storm,
small lamps along the edge of night.

For proof is iron, clean and hard,
a bridge that bears the skeptic’s feet;
but signal is the distant bell
that calls the future down the street.

The proof will say, “Here is the law.”
The signal whispers, “Look again.”
One builds the temple stone by stone;
one dreams the shape before the men.

And God, perhaps, has written thus—
not always plain, not always shown,
but parable in blood and dust,
a seed beneath the field once sown.

The fool demands the fruit at once.
The wise man kneels beside the ground.
The prophet hears what is not said.
The scientist tests what can be found.

So bless the proof that stands the fire.
Bless too the signal, strange and small.
For every truth that crowns the age
was first a shadow on the wall.

And those who dare to read the dark,
where faith and measurement entwine,
may find that proof and signal both
are footsteps of the same design.
