What we Know

I am not sure if
We know a lot
Or a little
She swings her legs
Sitting on the window sill
The skies are full of snow
What we do know
Is not of much use
To anybody else 
I conclude 
She tuts 
I am not sure if she
Thinks 
I am right or wrong
She is licking the icing sugar
Off of her tiny fingers
I suppose we have seen
And done
Quite a few things
We have watched
And listened
Almost always in silence
Paying due diligence
To what is being told
But inside rebelling
Not wishing to conform 
We are our own spirits 
So perhaps everything we 
Know is obscure 
This she likes
And hops down off her perch
Like a bird
Chasing berries 
What we do know
We have turned into words
What we don't 
We will think about 
If it is golden we will hold it close
If it is dust
We will cast it away
I wonder what today will bring
She dances and sings
Whatever you choose it to be 
As if by magic 
We have filled up the page
With thoughts 
Little glimpses of what we know
And space for what we need to learn.
