Knowing Unknowing Knowing

I know
and you know that I know
but what or how you don't know
and what or how you know I don’t know
only we know that we know what we know.

One day we will tell one another
really know
maybe really be known.

And so
patiently we wait the time
which neither knows
the space where we might share
and grow.

This summer or next
or not till 100 years
I cannot tell
even if you might but don’t say.

But one day for sure.

Meantime night-time we share
dream what will come
unveiled.

Naked we’ll see
and then
lovingly
carefully
so carefully
cloth our sense
walk out
mantled in gentleness
not meek
not mild
not sleek
not wild
tall
in quiet pride
side by side by side.
