KNOWLEDGE OF THE UNKNOWN
 
 

As sure as you see your reflection,
in the water of the pond,
and we sense there is more to know,
in the great beyond.

Knowledge of the unknown,
as strange as it may sound,
it is about all we really know,
regardless of what we've found.

You see, everything is connected,
not one thing stands alone,
in order to REALLY know,
you'd need to know all there is.

When we arrive we do know,
what it takes to survive,
it is all you really need,
just to keep yourself alive.

For our time spent living,
we pick up that and this,
we may think we know a thing,
beyond just a hit and miss.

Knowledge of the unknown,
is all we really learned,
though we tried and gave our all,
we weren't overly concerned.

When it is all said and done,
and we are on our way,
knowledge of the unknown,
as life goes on by the day.
