Knowledge of Love
Knowledge of Love
A.K.A (The Way of the Bard)
Lost moments
never return.
Time is fleeting
as it flows,
and beyond the shifting present,
we are left with
nothing from the past
but mere impressions,
and fleeting fading memories
Lost in the deep pool of thoughts,
that’s one’s own
subconscious mind.
Dreams collide
with the waking world,
creating a chronological whirlpool
within a perceived present,
mapping out a kaleidoscopic
mix-match of familiar settings
imbedded within the frame
of a new reality
with magical possibilities,
where doors and portals
are more than what they seem,
and every exit is
an entrance to somewhere else.
Trapped between what we know
and what we believe
is the undying truth
that is the essence of
our underlying reality.
From this eternal point,
unfolds each of our
varied truths, and our
individual understandings of reality.
These ARE “The REALITIES”
REAL-EYE-TEASE
REAL-I-TEASE
OUR RE-ALI-TEAS.
This includes so much
of that which is inherently
contradictory, being the basis
of all rational & irrational
arguments and disagreements.
I speak of those falsehoods we believe
and those “truths” we perceive.
Misguided morals try and dictate
the actions of others,
Searching for a paradise,
Where everyone shared “my beliefs”
And, “This is the Problem!”
Some traditions perpetuate oppression,
While believing in a utopian ideal
That would make B.F. Skinner blush.
Behavior is learned,
But beware of the puppet masters,
And be aware of how your strings are pulled.
We seek more than to tolerate.
We seek to understand,
and to be shown a glimpse of
the world of true knowledge,
even if it shall fade
beyond all shadow of
memory or recall,
just to know the truth,
and see what truly is.
Our immediate graspable world
is composed of naught but love.
Just like the spinning of
negative and positive particles
brings atoms and matter into being,
it is important to know that this
attraction is the Force of Love.
From an infinite microcosm, to
An infinite macrocosm, all
in this universe is
brought into being by this “LOVE”.
The universal force of “love”
is the underlying theme
of all creation,
and happens on the physical &
metaphysical levels,
tying together mind and body.
Heaven on earth is
the divine manifestation of this principle.
Love is, in fact the only force
that can manifest in
infinite varieties within
both the concrete & imaginary realms.
Thus, in due time,
with the force of love applied,
that which is but fantasy
can make an appearance
in the physical world,
And this, my friends , is ART.
And that’s the LAW!
UN-E-SCAPE-ABLE
When we work to create,
that is how the mind forges matter.
This is the way of the Bard,
And this is the Path of the Artist.
