The Basis of Epistemology
The poet writes of lost love, and of cedar groves
with lilting rhymes and meticulous metered flows
What's the basis of all poetry? No one really knows.
...
The dancers leap with flourish and feet step in rows
From clomping country jigs to ballerinas' toes
What's the basis of all dance? No one really knows.
...
The painter brushes in shadows with spattering color throws
From Impressions of landscapes to detailing the model's pose
What's the basis of all art? No one really knows.
...
Who with eyes sees the crimson petals of the rose?
Who smells the fragrance at the dual entrance of the nose?
Who thinks all these thoughts? Who is the one who knows?
Peel to the innermost core of the onion, as far as it goes
When you run out of layers, then wonder just how it grows
What's the basis of all awareness? No one really knows.
