OF FRAMES AND MINDS

Let  me go on liveth
though not knoweth
thy frame of mind
by me untouched, unscathed 
And yet covered 
in my love
thy frame of mind
yet not knoweth , not cognized

For I shall say 
Great is the benefit
of Doubt , that in peace 
let me lay
Rather  than let me die
in despair
the heart troubleth
and facts knoweth

  1. Doubt definitely has its benefits in some situations. But dying in despair is a sad thing.

  2. The benefit of doubt is necessary. If we go on and analyze each and every aspect of each other, we can never build relationships. Some things shall always remain hidden in the haze of doubt.
    Well-penned and thoughtful writing. :-)

  4. i am not afraid of doubt, as many are
    i think we have to ask the questions and in that can strengthen our
    faith...not leave it shallow...

    1. yes, thats the best approach Brian, but for someone whose only hope is a wish that he/she is 90% sure that the wish wont be true this works.

  5. I guess sometimes ignorance is better than despair, but sometimes on the other hand you may never quite be sure of the person's 'frame of mind'. Who knows?
