Counted Syllabics

Knowledge is, is not
Secure enough for full trust,
Hidden remains, much.

//////////

Strange, strange, and stranger
The games we all join and play
To avoid boredom.

//////////

Finding it again
An unlikely happening
Still, we keep dreaming.

//////////

There exist moments
Of which none possess knowledge
Even those present.

//////////

Where did we find it?
How were we bound around it?
Why does it exist?
Though it guards it jealously –
Perhaps love knows the answer.

Prompt: I played with Haiku and a Tanka here. Should you wish, do some of your own.

Gratitude:
After days of shortage, I finally slept.
The gift of writing.
The gift of reading.
The presence of my dogs.
The luxury of time alone.
