A Poem on Perception & Reality

All I Know

[Updated Aug 16, 2022] It’s easy — all we can only know is only what we perceive.

I am all I know.

I am a container,

a box, a dish
holding all I know,
embracing all I sense,
containing my universe.

There is nothing beyond

all I know,
all I imagine,
all I contain.

Each new discovery, idea,

realization, recognition,
enters my container,
is held by me,
becomes more of all I know.

I create all I know,

I define all I know,
I name all I know.

All I know is who I am,

I am one with all I know.

I am all I know.
