THOSE WHO KNOW, DO NOT SPEAK

[The Tao Te Ching, 6th C., B.C- I take this in the sense, "understanding implies non-discussion and discussion implies non-understanding".]


May be there is something out there
wanting to be seen
wanting to be discovered
wanting to be used, wanting to be possessed
why is it not being used?
who can answer this question?
but
Those who know, do not speak!

May be there is something out there
wanting to be changed
wanting to be developed, wanting to be cherished
why is it not being done?
who can answer this question?
but
Those who know, do not speak!

May be there is someone out there
wanting to be noticed
wanting love, wanting affection
why does this happen?
who can answer this question?
but
Those who know, do not speak!

And so I begin my journey,
Searching for answers,
Far and wide,
Deep into the minds, unknown
And high up in those brains, bright-
I find what I wanted to find-
The way, a key-
And now, I know why-
Those who know, do not speak!
