Aliza Kashmala Kiran Poet Free verse

Who Knows

Who knows
When you know, you know. 
There is no doubt
whether the sky is blue
or gold
or red like my love for him,
when you know, you just know.
Never knowing what to do
forever in another space
constantly hoping for the better
never getting that at all
always looking for another way
out of this mess
not a care anymore
for it is worthless
Saw a bird realized flight
which everyone has to take
to reach something called "light"

Then there came a sound,
Said I was young, lacked wisdom.
For these things come with age
As there are many things the sand too doesn't know.
I see your immense beauty 
your keen intelligence 
and wisdom--
your gift of love 
for your fellow man 
and for life's journey...  
Though sometimes 
your journey of life 
reeks of hardship, 
strife and woe 
I know 
that somehow 
you will find a way 
to climb your way 
through this searing pain, 
the many obstacles 
and challenges--
And I know 
one day too
you will emerge 
on the other side 
an even stronger, 
more vibrant, 
more amazing you.
It is a poignant thought...
 that in this life 
 we often know more of a thing 
  by its absence 
   than by its presence;
   that we do not know,
    yes,
     truly know…
     love,
      in all
       its ins, 
       its outs
        until life 
       ends…
As you create a blazing path
 and offer all you are 
  for all that is rejoicing         
   how precious life is
    knowing nothing I see you
     living as you must 
       raw and true
      volcanic heart awareness            
      embracing and embraced 
         by unknown
          the partner true.
