knowing nothing

I know nothing of beauty
so let me know everything of ugliness.
I know nothing of love
so let me know the ins and outs
of hate and indifference.
I know nothing of ease, and release
so let me know the ways of struggle
till I no longer need to look for peace.
I know nothing of this instant
or this eternal moment
so let me know a lifetime
of time's subtle passage.
I know nothing.
Look at me looking for lifelines everyday
clutching at crutches
haha haha
I know nothing
yet Nothing does not know me.
But someday it will know me
better than I think I know myself.
One day, Nothing will turn our pages
and every single insignificant detail,
 neglected letter and hidden word
will coalesce into
a story so ...
an entire universe was born for its telling

  1. I love this one, makhsoosan in ghesmato:

    I know nothing,
    yet Nothing does not know me.
    But someday it will know me
    better
    than I think I know myself.
