Verse 1: Genius

Genius 

 

Genius looked me in the eyes. 

Just stares at me for a time never moved once. 

Looking like a statue and writings on a wall. 

Genius simply stood up walked away.

Genius is a relative concept. I believe the greatest genius probably comes from recognizing our own ignorance and our need to pursue truth; the revelation of greatness, contained in humility and servitude. It's a recurring theme among many of the wold's great prophets and teachers; Jesus; the Dali Lama; Confucius etc. But I doubt true genius ever walks away from anyone. In fact, it probably waits for us all each day as we wake hoping we notice and recognize and come to accept it and ourselves with love. At least I greatly desire that to be so.

[Glen Yumang Manese]

That's a concept worth acceptance...in your observation...its about the individual person...its not what's in view or made...but how you find your way to making that be a genius within yourself...

It may take a lifetime and more to fathom genius. Genius never stagnates. It is always on the move. Because it is genius. Brilliantly said.

As I look at the first wave with the completion of this book...and the crest of the next is about to take me...its the precious times in writing them all with her there...my mother...as for the genius in us all...its when do you want to release it...time is ticking away...do not wait too long to play catch up...or you will miss the wave of a lifetime...it might not come back for a while...no one likes to wait --- not even the genius in you...

I'm surprised to find that you've written a free verse poem that personifies "Genius". Genius is somewhat like Serendipity trimmed with Occam’s razor. A vision that has avoided the quicksand of Murphy’s Law.

[Glen Yumang Manese]
