Mimesis

I know languages count by silent lexicons

I know oceans measure by waving hands

I know serpents poison by miseries

I know clouds mould by whispers

I know rivers clutter by sediments

I know oaks augur by heights

I know blood oils by fossils

I know epics endure by echoes

I know ashes wither by winds

I know castles coil by curls

I know hells hasten hubris

I know I know, my ignorance by ignorance

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
