Knowing By Being

True knowledge
Being aware of my own ignorance
Can true knowledge be held?

Knowing by being
Knowing what is by being what is
/being that which is

Nothing changeful can be known
I can't know it by being it
So the changeful can never be
truly known by me

Known about
Perceived
But not known

Knowing the eternal/changeless by being it
Nothing else can be known

I had to go through it two or three times to get the meaning of the poem, which was fantastic. There was a depth in the poetry and a lot of thought put upon it. nice writing!!

and hey!! the title was good 'knowing by being' :)
