I THINK ECCLESIASTES SUMS IT UP THIS WAY; '.....HE THAT INCREASES KNOWLEDGE INCREASES SORROW...' BUT THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THIS IS...TO 'KNOW' OUTSIDE OF THE LIGHT OF GOD IS WHERE THE BURDENS ARE, FOR WE ARE CARRYING THE 'WEIGHT OF KNOWING'... ON OUR OWN. BUT WITHIN THE LIGHT OF GOD...THERE IS THE 'PEACE' THAT 'HE' HAS EVERYTHING IN CONTROL AND, NO MATTER WHAT WE 'KNOW', FOR GOD IS FOREVER IN CHARGE IT ALL(MATT 11:28-30). THANKS, MY FRIEND. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
Your choice of picture here is outstanding in that it provides simple yet powerful emotion to go along with your poem. As you explore with words of questioning nature, knowing is not without its increased challenge in today's false narrative, where disinformation and outright forging lies are commonplace. Yes, to know is to take all you've proposed into consideration.
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
