An Ode to the Lamp of Knowledge


By knowing the unknown,
My mind rests in infinity.

By knowing the unknown,
My body dissolves in wholeness.

By knowing the unknown,
The outside is inside.

By knowing the unknown,
The fear fades.

By knowing the unknown,
The future is a ghost.

By knowing the unknown,
The past is a corpse.

By knowing the unknown,
I am that I am.

Janaka says:
Who is the knower of the unknown?

    thank you, udit, for reminding me the tendency of my personnality to emphasize the formless and neglect the form. it should appear in my writings, as you sound remark it. i will see, in a later step, if i can better balance the form and formless, in my life and expressions of life.

    As I said, very beautiful....but a bit too abstract. And it would be MUCH better if you could make longer verses out of it.

    thank you, bubble-licious, for your encouragement! yes, it is annoying. yes, slowness is boring, but boring is learning. with love.

    I liked this... In agreement with Darkenedauras, it was rather annoying, however it is insightful and very creative.

    Buena swerte!

    Wow that was annoying but great question at the end there I have a few poems too that say the same line over and over but I guess it is needed to make the poem seem....right. Great job with the oxymorons and good luck in the contest

    this is quite a remarkable write
    I really liked your stanzas in middle. That shows your creativity and expresses your true expression with quite an ease.
    Thanks for entering and penning it so magically
