I could be wrong...

A contemplative poem on the pursuit of knowledge

If I write, I could be wrong.

What I know, could be a ‘yes’.

And every poem, every song,

May be art, but it could less.

I overstate what I understand,

For every thought is braille I see.

I caress it with my hand,

As words turn beggars into thieves.

Is knowledge then a cliff,

Upon which, sirens sing their song?

The higher I climb, the farther I fall.

And if I write, I could be wrong.

'Hazey' - the quality of my song was likely not much better than the quality of this picture
