5: 16:  The Burden of Knowledge

Excerpt 16 from Journal 5, 'Reaching My True Love'
   -from 'Journals to My True Love Part 2'  
 
My Love, you come and go in pulses, you are kind then cruel, interchanging...  
I can't isolate which you truly are so I surmise you are both...  
I feel both pleasure and pain in response to you, how can love be so transient...  
Unless it is both love and not love... Life and not life...  
Soldity and dispersion... Forever in motion and ungraspable...  
Let the flowing rivers water come to rest in the resevoir of my heart...  
Let its polarity be neutralized, its confusion be abated...  
Rest at last in peace and healing in the calm, serene garden where only truth grows...  
My Love, although I desire to meet you I know you are not ready to know that I  
   know for knowledge is a burden weighing heavily even on strong and sturdy shoulders...  
I sense your naiivete in love matters for you are untainted by bitter disappointment...  
Its hard to imagine anyone could be, love disappointments do ruin us, but  
   in time we rebuild... In a way, you represent the old me before these destructions  
   occurred and that reflection of me in you is what I crave...  
In a sacred place where I once hid, sheltered from harm I grew and  
   metamorphosized into a great butterfly who flew high to see all...  
But in this high place the piercing winds damaged my wings and I drifted  
   down toward the ground losing the great status and vision...  
In despair I returned to the shelter and hid once again...  
In my deepest slumber I had a vision of you...  
When I awoke you were still there and until today you have never departed me...  
In the connundrum of our physical seperation my heart became still and  
   in this stillness my body and wings healed to one day fly again... Except it will be a  
   direct flight to you, your gentle spirit will be the wind that lifts me...  
I will simply stretch my wings and rise on your breeze...
