I Know Not, I Know

I know not of things beyond the invisible rainbow.
I know not of what causes remembrance of every 
Teardrop we hold then forgetting it all causing an
Overflow.
I know not to want things I can only dream of. 
And what does cause the temptation of tides.

Then so, what entails the complexity of tide to
Resign. 
How is it that nature designs heat from cold.
What causes  a dead STAR to reliquish it's shine.
What  causes it to be enlivened.

There is the understanding of the light of the 
MIND.
I know not of lite YEARS and eons that have past.
I know of  terrestrial  occurrences and lives of
Kinsmen.
I know of no partridge in a pear TREE or how 
It was planned.

I embed myself with knowledge of my 
Understanding.
I know not to litter my mind with such 
Unthinkables meant literally of diligence
Viewed on occasion as intelligence.  Why?
I know not.
