Knowledge and Knowing

Thu, 06/07/2018 - 17:32 -- aleced

Can you understand the unquenchable desire of the flesh?

That which wills you to become animal?

That which wills you to forget reason?

 

Can you understand the intoxicating sense of having care?

That which drives the heart past beating?

That which drives the soul beyond belief?

 

Can you understand the wrenching pressure of denied dreams?

That which presses upon a hope till extinguished?

That which presses upon the being till death?

 

Can you comprehend the deepest passions and soundings of the soul, body, mind?

Those which move the human spirit?

Those which move the every day?

 

[The will of the soul is stronger than the intoxications of the heart.]
