Notes About The Poem

"Hope not, for you know not what to hope for” — often attributed to Socrates => We often hope blindly, without understanding the true nature or consequences of what we desire.

glow

Retro-reflection and Afterglow

Is knowing what's known
enough, or must you know it
beyond the pretense
to feelings and perception ~
with bright light glow in its shine
