What Do You Think You Know
What is this that
we think we know?
– It pervades life
ever anon and
contains man in
the fields of love –
Could it be the
universe acting
through us as the
law governing life,
or is it the measuring
stick of experience
tallying up all days
lived rightly, as if there
is a way to live wrongly.
I find it is the love we
give to find our hearts
bloom ever anew.
What is this that
we think we know?
– It brings life from
chaos to order and
back to chaos in an
unending cycle of
renewal – Could it
be a gentle taming
of man’s wild spirit
running from the
drudgery of society’s
searing humiliation
or is it the wildness
in made is made
manifest by by the
pallid taste that society
imbues upon the natural
world through control.
What is this that
we think we know?
– every person breathes
through a particular
scope in which love is
received and given – Is
it you who knows the
totality of love and
all it’s manifestations;
to fill and be filled by
the same haughty
breath that sustains
this wondrous universe.
To let go of the binds
that would have you
understand and
just bask in the glories
of your sacred love.
