"I know things. I've seen things.
I don't know what you're going through, though.
I've held troubles, but they weren't shaped like yours.
I've lost, but none of my missing pieces would have filled your gaps.
I know some things, not all things."
from a poem called, the knowing by Ra Avis
Circling back
coming round
sliding through
this Autumn arc
I greet myself
a younger version
of complex cells
she is just a beginning
a growing lightness
wrapped in doubt

A great interpretation of Alone, Ali. There tends to be uncertainty at the beginning amidst the eagerness to move along. I also like that poem you shared by Ra Avis. We know things but we don’t have the answers to every questions. Wonderful writing 🙂
