can't define myself

A inter look at human nature and the values we leave behind

I can't define myself, I can only illustrate through writing's adept wizardry an illusion of a sane mind yet I am unable to conjure a cure, for what am I not man nor woman or a single cell spit into a mammal I'm not a prime ape for I am nothing as insignificant as paint on a cathedrals walls yet as marvelous as its symbolism for I am everything and nothing a mere joke genetically strung from a manifestation know as life, yet the limitlessness of my mind tells me otherwise, what can define me life love a false pursuit for riches and fame I steadily grow hungry for this knowledge, and yet I starve never indulging in the ecstasy of understanding, wrapped in the abundance of wholeness, so I can't begin to define me yet I know that this world will not be my definition yet it will be redefined by me and in its sands I weave an immortal bond that lays a foundation for the future and it's seekers to define.

I like the line, 'strung from a manifestation know as life, and I agree about the limitlessness of the human mind. I hope the "immortal bond you weave from the sand," fits well with you and your "redefinition." Me, I'm still trying to figure out who the heck I am! Thanks for sharing your poem. I liked reading it today.
