This Room of Unknowing

I am searching for something,

In the waning light,

As night settles upon me.

A pregnant calm fills me.

With unbirthed thoughts,

Rampant and unfulfilled,

Swirling and whispering within me…

Is there something I should know?

Is there something I’ve forgotten?

If only I knew, maybe then I would be…

Knowing.

But a delicate nothing,

Presses upon me,

Its phantom weight,

Powerfully,

Confoundingly,

Questioning me.

What?

What is it I do not know?

Everything.

Like the echo of this sullen breeze,

Blowing through my half-opened window,

Gently tapping along the hallway,

Coming towards me alone,

Into my room, waiting.

Promising,

Eluding,

Yearning,

For a little look behind the veil.
