Literature Text

From the fading light I'm falling
Where once I stood so proud
No longer are the voices calling
No longer do I yearn to know

I've spent my time in thought
And drunk my fill of silence
And left the dying ages, the rot
And putrid stench behind

I've learned, but still..
I do not know, nor can I
And now I never will
Knowledge brings no peace
Reflecting on the idea of Gnosis.
With me as the Sophia figure, and slightly unhappy with what I find ;)

you may not understand.

Beautifully put! How I marvel at such precise awareness within here. Knowledge is ONLY a tool to be used, not an idol to be worshipped. How is it that we continue to get caught up in beliefs, when the freedom that is within sees all while touching nothing? 'Peace, huh....have you realized wherein peace resides there, my friend? Thanx for sharing such a beautiful vibe here! I'm stoked!!!
