I Remembered To Forget

As you spoke

-in bile and spite-

I remembered Demise

As you spoke

-in love and wrath-

I remembered Creation

As you spoke

-in grief and sorrow- 

I remembered Fraternity

As I cut of this hand

-for fear of doing wrong-

life was no longer a Dread

As you spoke

-in a tacit lament-

I remembered Love

As you spoke

-of conceit in deceit-

I remembered Timidity

As you spoke

-vexed and pitiless-

I remembered Seclusion

As desire numbed

-forgetting to remember-

I uttered a dissenting Voice

As He spoke

-straight to the core-

I remembered my Dawn

As He spoke

-in the depth of self-

I remembered to forget Me

As He spoke

-directly in the heart-

I forgot all all of this Domain

Speechles did I recollect

-no words required, solely wit-

to forget as I remembered His Path

Note.

Do words hold knowledge -yes- philosophy doesn't entitle full comprehension.

Who are these seekers in need of certainty, tradition, ritual and yet not find Him.

To any of the poor -hushed, subdued yet risen- this speaks louder than a scream.
