“As Knowing is To Be:”
White flowers early bloom,
and grief, they soon subsume–
and so to roses grow;
the seeds of red to sow.
The mind is death, to doubt,
as knowing is to be;
as way leads on to way,
where nothing we can see
stands fast, then I can say:
“There is nothing true, but I
would make us so.”

- Comment from author about the poem: The poem above includes juxtaposed symbolism representative of the processes it describes, literary allusions (to poems that have complementary meanings), metaphors for doubt and truth that correspond with death and existence itself; and an impetus to define what truth is for the self, as so little else is clear in life. It's sort of like a puzzle, where maybe over time new meanings will jump out at the reader. So please, do explore.
