Know thyself and you Can know Everything

Beyond this expanse of eternity
I stand alone
Solitude my companion
Lonely, never for I am complete as I am

Beyond this expanse of eternity
I watch my thoughts
Cascade down through my mind
Interpretation no longer needs
To lend itself to me

For my spirit, this ancient soul of souls
Has searched for wisdom
From the time life breathed fire
Into this world
Experience has carved me into being
My existence defined by the paths I have trod
from the roads I have walked
from the sacrifices made and the many lessons learned
In many lives and places have I lived
Spanning the sands of time and oceans of eternity
And now I stand on the pinnacle of enlightenment
The sense of “knowing” sits firm within my being
Because I have journeyed this land
Even before time existed

Oh, yes, I know, oh how, I know
Many, many things
I have seen much and captured much within my heart
I have heard much and captured much within my heart
I have felt much and captured much within my heart
I have experienced joy like the creation within womb of a child
I have experienced pain, like the thorns which pierced Jesus’ brow
Or the shackles of mind, body and soul which kept many a people down
So therefore, how could I not attain enlightenment
Without experiencing the world through the eyes of my soul
Until this sense of knowing, became embedded within my psyche

Beyond this expanse of eternity
I stand alone
Solitude my companion
Reflecting through life, with me
Gathering knowledge and wisdom
Embedding it within my heart

So yes, I know,
I just simply know everything
Or Do I?
