Genius of Doubt





To keep sifting meaning, revealing
Until there is no more meaning.
Telemachus, fighter, I am happier than you
Born to forsee
The wife of sin
Struggler, sifter
Commiter to strangeness
Faithless to the King
To remain not
To begin to
Learn failure to
Be made in error
Then to learn the shore
By working the work of
A raised woman
you will not remain here very long at this work
You were not born to be a teacher.
Perhaps I am wrong.

Mike, this poem it looks like it was talking about myself.Every single word, incluiding the failures...
Well, I guess we are all the same.

"Commiter to strangeness
Faithless to the King
To remain not
To begin to
Learn failure to
Be made in error"


beautiful!
