The Sentient Quest

"Sentience" - the capacity to feel, perceive, or experience subjectively

The Thinker, RodinFigures across an expanse of snow,
Others, far down and hovering in the deep.
And on they go, Scanning screens for stars.
All hearing the ancient echo,
Perhaps.
All on a quest that
Started with sentience.

Somewhere out there?
Above, beneath 
Or just a just a little further on?
Maybe it's deep inside.
We will seek forever 
If we can

Are we questing for truth 
Or just carrying it?
Outside, inside 
Perhaps hovering deep,
And awaiting the scanning,
Is that really a good cosmic echo?
So we shall quest on,
Perhaps, long passed  our sentience.
