Without a Sound

Can you clarify it any more, please try.

It seems the wall is down all around,

I need desperately to understand.

Does this karma noise exist without a sound,

all hot wire without a ground?

We can repeat it is not the getting there; the journey is the goal,

but it merits barely an exclamation point, nor bookends..

Hard to defend not already knowing about this,

all that can be recovered by the spirit or the soul

was in none of the preludes that I wrote.

Weak of knee, slow at step, almost hollow, sadly intent

on not proving it was worth it out near this cycle’s end,

but then still did not actually know, how could I?

Am I so misinformed or maybe only sadly innocent,

or worse; willfully ignorant?
