what is knowledge? the silence between words?
what is light? a hiatus in darkness?
what is peace? the lull between storms?
what is sound? the bridge between silent isles?
what is life? a flare from burning wood?
what is death? a return to dust?
what is truth? what is falsehood?
where does one begin? where does one end?
life goes on
in the stillness of the leaf on an idling
afternoon
in the shut eyes of a snoozing cat
in the effervescent patch of cloud against the
burning skies
the answer is sought in vain
those who know never speak
and those who speak never know
says the Zen.
