POETRY: To Know & To Eternally Be
Khaled Nusseibeh
Posted Sep 21, 2004 •Permalink • Printer-Friendly VersionTo Know & To Eternally Be
Can a theme be inexorably found
In the depths of a restless soul
Digging deep into an unknown
As though a reality in intangible shrouds
The frontiers of a vast unseen
Anchored in a perceptible self
Conscious of a tiny particle of truth
In the immense ocean of the expanse
Is it physical matter or pure spirit?
Kindred though distinct plains
The senses blur a great vision
Bringing things down to matter
The yearnings for an absolute
Beaten down by earth?s sway
Only to renew an ineffable quest
To know and to eternally be
