How does one say it?
How does one say what is unsayable?
How does one say what is unsayable, nay, unassailable?
How does one say what is unsayable and unassailable,
diffused in misty cogitation?
Speechless, breathless, nothingness…
Necessity of the dam.
There is a lamp to give light to the room
There are words to give life to the heart
There is a shade to give grey a chance to seep in through blinds
There is silence to mute the risks.
A helmet for my heart,
A pen for my hand, motionless
Guarded circles of heartward beating
Defying the crying of
mortality
humanity
utter profanity
A. Locke 2013
Heh, if the Ineffable were understandable in words, then the words to describe the ineffable are and were spoken by the voice that reads and writes this line. I hear those words. Peace, Ik
Ahh… spoken out into the universe, where no sound escapes. 🙂 I read your entry this morning, and was moved by the phrase the “Unchanged Changeling.” Sounds like a poem in the making right there… 🙂
🙂 Some things change; and, in changing, they never change. Such is the Paradox of being God. Peace, Ik
The older I get the more I think that everything is a paradox and I know absolutely nothing. lol. So true! Have a fantastic day! Shall I call you LK, or Erik?
Oh, it’s ik, the last two letters of my name. Call me whichever you prefer; my good friends call me by the nick. And yes, knowing how little I know permits me to know how much I truly know – that is, omniscience. Peace, Ik
What does that mean, to call you by the nick? lol Whoa, that thought is… well… infinite….I’ll have to meditate on that one.
“nick” as in nickname. Words are so confusing. Oh, to know what it means to be the cause and source of confusion!
haha! Oh gosh, that was simple. I thought maybe it was a British moniker for something-or-other. Glad to have clarified!! It would’ve been pretty embarrassing if I started calling you “The Nick,” now wouldn’t it? Have a fantastic day!!
