Knowledge
beyond the knowing
not
– wisdom
– as such
for learning is love
but loving its possession–
– sophos
– self
the search yearns
breathes and breeds but
possession
– 9/10s
– nothing
We are on the way
or we, drifting in the ripples
are nothing but
flavored
– answers
– drunk.
flavored answers drunk… learning is love… and love again teaches us…makes us willing to learn? i think the big things are connected with each other in one or the other way
I also got that ahh feeling from the flavoured answers.. some great images you create in these juxtapositions.
learning is love and loving its possession…an interesting line that made me stop and think
i am one that would rather be on the way than floating along, but there is a time for each
I love the close here–and it makes me wonder
I’m with Audrey…it’s the close here that makes me think (although I did find myself returning to puzzle over most of your poem…)…enigmatic, that’s how I find this intriguing poem…
