On Knowing

The day you finally grow up
is the day when you finally realise
that after all you have learnt
and all that you know

You actually know very little
about the universe
about the stars that hang in the night sky
about the planets that swirl in the darkness of space
about the human heart and its flits and sighs

We blind ourselves
with laws and theories 
and books and pages
until most of us forget
that what passes for our knowledge
is just a mere drop in His ocean
a humble letter in the book of Existence

So talk a little slower
walk a little lower 
as you sail along
through life's angry ocean
because you and I
we are finally grown up enough
to know that we know too little.
