The Old Knife

like an old  knife
newly whetted,
always aware
of its true nature,
as it cuts through
different things
in its path,
with an ease
that comes
when it is
what it's meant to be,
and when it knows -
its life purpose
is to be
but a knife -
to cut deep,
to peel unwanted layers,
to reach into
the forbidden fruit
every single time!
