*** The Non-Existent Truth*** Poem by Marieta Maglas

*** The Non-Existent Truth***

Rating: 3.1


The limits of the truth
needing holy knowledge
and being unreal or real,
still existent or not existent any longer;
accepting that being is true,
accepting the non-existence of being
when the absence of existence means
the negation of being;
accepting that truth did not exist,
and it would have been true that
it did not exist, at the same time;
understanding that truth is eternal,
imagining the idea of a non-existing world,
before its existence;
accepting the universal and the immortal truth,
so interchangeable with the existence,
while the universal never ceases of itself;
recognizing the truth always
in an eternal intellect,
while the created truth does not exist;
understanding the created truth as not existing;
remaining truth, when
the true things have been destroyed,
Or remaining truth,
when all true things can be destroyed,
Or remaining true when
our minds cannot see the truth itself;
Truth is, in a sense,
always a consequence of its act.
Truth is not being in the sense because
the sense does not know the truth it truly judges,
even it judges truly about things and about
the existent and the non-existent truth...

you are a wonderful poet...i love your incisive and realistic thought about truth...Truth is absolute and can never be relative...'We can do nothing against truth but only for truth.'2Corinthians 13: 8. This is what makes truth different from a fact. Keep writing... I invite you to read my poem I WISH...
