To know
And be known
A heart’s anxious desire
From you all beauty grows
From you all folly spreads
For family to know
Beyond the burden
For highlights and low
Are etched eternally
Beyond consciousness
For friends to know
What delights them is but shadow
Of the shocking unknown
Bringing relief for a lifetime
Without inspection
To be known does not come between men any longer
Why go on?
An insult
In jest
Is folly
An opinion
Interjected
Is a rift
Why seek to grasp the wind?
