Entelecheia (a poem)

What did Aristotle say about this? Where 

are the truths I have always believed

to be real? You know the lands

and oceans very well; I dream that one day

I will find land and finally stand on solid

ground. Tell me that I am lost at sail, and I'll tell you

that if only I knew how to signal the S.O.S.

and if only you knew how to read my signs,

I would never have to silence the things

that blaze from the best of my heart; it harbors

Entelecheia: your words will speak to me

of the things I do not know and will never tell

myself about love. You will resonate the truths

I have always believed

to be real so that even brilliant Aristotle

would wake from his grave and agree:

I need to find land--I'm signaling the S.O.S.

You need to read the signs.
