Great Men and Their Words

Samuel Clemens upon his deathbed

said 'Bring my my spectacles'

I suppose he was a man

who was in the end wondering what

was there to see next

what was God's Master Plan.

 

Leondaro da Vinci is quoted as having said

'Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his Master'

was he attempting to teach greatness as a scholar

even though he was known

to be haughty towards Michelangelo

or perhaps he himself wanted to conquer the Master of us all.

 

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart once spoke these words:

'To talk well and eloquently is a very great art

but to know the right moment to stop is an even greater one.'

With quill and ink in hand

he penned - sweet note by note - ending with

perfection that is timeless

and took a stand

creating his own Requim

death within his grasp.

 

Einstein is quoted:

'God don't play dice'

So forget the luck and chance

Even the great scientist

seemed to believe

there was something beyond

the nature of our reality.

 

All men of beauty

creations True and strong

not only are their creations

masterpieces to us all

but indeed their words are too-

an author, an artist, a musician, a scientist

gone but forever here

resting within our eyes, ears, souls, and minds

men of greatness through and through.

 

Are there lessons to be learned from

the words that they spoke

beyond the pen, the brush, the pages

of glory-

men of greatness that strove to tell a story.

 

Twain with his seeking

da Vinci with his wanting

Mozart with his advice

Einstein with his belief.

 

They each sought perfection

living still in our memories

however the words they spoke

tell me more about these great men

perhaps even than their work

as each chose a path

of creativity-

as we have

each and every one of us-

a Godly undertaking I say to thee.

"Even the great scientist

the nature of our reality." ------------------------- you know Siddh, that's what I write about those days and I posted several text on this topic and will be posting a longer text with drawing, how I see this our being. I liked those lines; but of course so many experienced this thing beyong our relative reality. All the Zoro masters, and Hindu philosophers, the Gnostics, the Egyptians, they experienced it and worshipped their sun god, for they knew, all is light.

Are there lessons to be learned from

the words that they spoke

beyond the pen, the brush, the pages

of glory-

men of greatness that strove to tell a story. ---------------and I loved this, for it is definitely so! What a paradox that we don't know more than they knew? And when we think that everyrthing is about back to the orgin creation, then we do wrong living in this Yes Yes space, our imaginary world for all those human inventions lead away from the original creation, there is a damn similarity between physics, the fountainhead of philosophies and the neuroscience. I drawed it for myself and used the equation Z = x+iy, where Z - is the Complex Plane (the universe of 4 consciousness). One can prove with this everything. It works. Unfortunately, those who call themselves "sane" are those....who are not knowing. Only those are able to see in the Yes /No space and the NO /Yes space, those who can feel and think in the same time, we call them Schizophrenic personality, those can experience this and know... the truth. But they were closed away, for only few can see and the amount of those sane - not knowing is higher, and they wanted their space, all was, is and will be in this humanity about power. Nowadays they learn to cope with the society, then we call them celebrities, the artists of all kind ...great write, dear. wow.

Superb!
I have not found the real soul of me
until I reached down within this heart
of mine.

Life was born, unearthed
as I picked up the poets pen
a gift from above.

As the pen moved
my heart and soul connected
bringing out the real me.

(((Hugs)))

You have reverently painted a strong masterpiece of those that altered the world around us. These that came before us changed humanity with their words of knowledge as well as actions, what a difference they made. Loved all of it, especially the end! ~ Jude

Was this posted before the mass deletion? I think I remember reading it (or something very similiar). Either way it is a good piece. Unfortunately, we never learn from the lessons that have been given us. It is an inherent flaw in the design of humanity. :(
