Caduceus

 

 

 

The wings of hermes,

The rod of Asculapis,

The serpents of life,

Together as a medical symbol,

That the world has accepted,

As healing and good health.

This is placed here at this site,

To advice everyone of its content,

To say that it is of mind and heart,

That it is a place of communication,

Of matters that relate to life and death,

Please proceed with love and understanding.

To risk takers it is a sign of caution,

To those seeking wealth, it warns of danger,

But to all those who seek knowledge of self,

It says you are welcome.

You really managed to make that symbol something more to me. Made it more than a symbol. Good write, good read.

A beautiful and a intlegent piece. I love how you took somethign so fimilar and made a expose piece of poetry on it. So vivid and lively, beautiful.

[Sagar Waingankar]

Respect! Smart words often flow with what it means to be self. Knowledge once earned should be sustained for long with proper sharing. Materialistic gains are meant to be weak with time. Thanks for such an artistic piece of you!

Wisdom for all beautifully written here and a good reminder to 'proceed with love and understanding' as we all 'seek knowledge of self' Great write.

[Leslie Philibert]

Liked this, an intelligent poem based on a visual image that transports a wise message about health, as well as the advice to seek wisdom internally, good write.
