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
