What Else
What Else
...have I resisted knowing?
I beg God to please
spare me the details.
I think I've heard everything
and probably know too much
about what doesn't matter.
That damn voice
always telling me I must,
does not originate
from the sun or moon,
and is not carried
on the songs of birds
by a strong wind.
A recent rumor
grabbed my attention.
(Silence will always
spill the beans.)
Everyone has a second soul
we gift to our Beloved.
Now here's another thing
I must remember to ask God:
What else have I resisted knowing?
Fate leads him who follows it,
and drags him who resist.
~ Plutarch
