Short Knowable Poems

Dreamcast, cast a dream, believe in that dream, fulfill the dream, dream meaningful, fill the dream, knowable meaning to fill the dream, no meaning perseverance full on a dream.

I was closer to my father
or so I thought.
But I now
miss my mother more,
and the only explanation I have
is he was more knowable
and she more vast.

There is amazing closeness
To all things
That goes beyond
Any feeling--
A grace, joy, peace,
Heart wisdon--
One never knows.
Great suspense story,
This life.
Who wants to go back
To the usual,
The  routine, the knowable?
Not I....

    of
    reminicences
of
imaginative
validity,   
     a new
     dimension
envisioned
     things
     not ideas-
knowable
world,
    things in
    the particular
that
flutter
     into life..

When I look out on a fog-swept night
Of black abysses and milky light
Seamlessly, softly inter-curled,
In human knowledge I see the world.

For the boundless pit of the human plight
Enshrouds the knowable, stops our sight,
Save where bursts from the light below
Speak the insatiable quest to know....

Our dimension 
is one of constant change

realization almost immediately
gone, at the point of capture

all we know is in retrospect -- 

floating on a buoyancy of grace,
faith, a divine contract -- 
written in seasons
the journeys of stars

feelings the truth we call life:
weeps and joys of nature~
God, the knowable and unknowable,
translator and ever greater mystery…....

My thoughts of you, and yours of me,
Can be portrayed mathematically:
To sum up every complex trait
We factorize and integrate,
And add imaginary parts
To make the vectors fit our charts.

Your thoughts of me, and mine of you,
Look reckless from a polar view:
The truly knowable and real
Are overwhelmed by how we feel,
Since we forget each magnitude
Is through an unseen angle skewed....

this upscale retirees' resort
       gives him a magnificent view
                of sunrises and of sunsets,

of tides that ebb and flow;
       but these have not made him
               ponder, as anyone charmed

by Nature might, on why he has
      been freely given this one life, 
              as all others also have been,

for reasons never apparent,
      for purposes neither known
             nor slightly knowable at all....

Regret is the thing you feel when the heart is in despair 
That pensive mood when you feel nothing but the fear 
Regret is in the human soul it never leaves your side 
It's what haunts both dreams and life
Passed on from generation to generation
It's beneath all the lies
Sometimes it's like a familiar friend 
Reminding us of the knowable past again
How can you get passed all the regrets in your life?
I know not, because mine are still alive....
