Imagination of greatness and mere humility of intrepidity!: A poem

I sleep among the shadows of a huge meadow

where the branches of tall trees reach down to touch me

And I am, at once, filled with their fluids, sap in my blood,

giving me the extravagant lustre to feel the highest veneer

of bark-wood, bathing in the sunshine! I think, suddenly,

of the passing of an electric current between sky and arm

like a lightning bolt in inventive Nikola Tesla’s mind!

And I, then, begin running in the radioactive fusion of

the stars of the night! They are all relative to my loping

in locution. I have a revelation of mathematical expanse, of all of

Geometer’s configurations in the imagination of Albert Einstein!

Would I go beyond everything, and have the knowledge

of the Universe encapsulated in a byte of graphite

unfolding in the transfiguration of myself in the singularity

of becominge one with AI in the gusto-filled mannerism of Elon Musk!

But, I am just thinking of myself in candour, like a white  glove

of fog on my serendipity-hoping hand. Would it give my antiquity

a leverage, a clarity in the conundrum?! When I wish sincerely to understand

the subtleties of letting go, and the slaughtermen only want to capitalise

on the sacrifice of the venerable. You comprehend  the folly of faith

in the wake of the wickedness! My reflection in the window pane

of the purple night sky sees the structure of sabotage turning over

another day, another lifetime in the woods, where I have passed in unfrantic

patience, sublimity and restraint. For all the imagination of great frontiers,

there are only sandcastles being brought down by a treacherous sea!

And I want to, then, be the logomachist subverting the treachery with a volley of confusing verbage!

That I then should hope that my greatness be a mere insect-repellant curtain, where my enemies

fall against my hide, like moths on a telling  ferocious stormy summer night!
