Knowing

I thought I used to know you

But I barely knew myself

And knowing is a challenge

That can last a lifetime

How could I have known

What no one could see?

Trying to tell a story

From the middle of its pages

The answers still aren’t clear

But I can’t wait for clarity

You fade in and out

Your tale not mine to tell

I may have known you then

But this is another time and place

All I know now is me

And that which still surrounds me
