The Listen

These Knowings, I know. The Mountain is, the Seas. The Wind is, the Trees. The Sun is, the Stones. The Shadow is, the Bones. The Lamplight is, the Cave. The Falcon is, the Grave. These Knowings, I know. These Knowings, we’ve each known, These Knowings get forgot. These are the Knowings preceding thinkings, preceding feelings... preceding precedings. These Knowings are not knowings for thought. The Heart is, an Echo. The Pain is, an Echo. The Lift is, the Fall. The Listen is, the All.
