The Teacher (Poem)

Poem about my thirst for clarity.

Sanity the price

Knowledge the item

Through darkness it strides

Poetic recital

The way of the wise

Words spoken from Gods

It looks up at me

Stopped for a pause

Face on the floor

Nose pouring blood

Thoughts run chaotic

Mind starts to flood

Knowledge the item 

Sanity the price

Confined by my greed

To understand life.

Thirst for clarity--- brilliant! Guess you will remain thirsty for a long time, not that you would not find the source but you are "Confined by greed, to understand life".

Heh, chaos is an ever present entity... Thank you for the advice.

A desire for clarity must avoid its obsessions, for our thirst for clarity may be the very thing that clouds the issues. Relax .... and make it a part of your daily routine .... its like going to the grocery .... its what it is.
