What We Can Never Know

The wind blew, and we know not where it blows The clouds gather and from whence it gathers, we don’t know The sea flows and from whence it flows, we don’t know A mysterious secret we cannot know So shrouded are the beam that its light we cannot know ... Knowing to know the known known to him that knows Why don’t we know and why can’t we know Why don’t we understand and why can’t we not Why don’t we see it coming, and why can’t we not In the peace of the woods, the prey becomes meat In the seat of the cloud, the waters wet us In the midst of a crowded world, the unknown can still find us In the below of the eyes, tears are seated Waiting to roll off like a sliding rock Why I lost my friend, I can’t know Where he is going, it is to Him that knows Whether we will meet again, I have to decide When death shall come, I don’t want to know But what I seek to know, is to know that He that knows, knows my name Rest in peace my friend
