The soothsayer of the soul –
Untangling every mystery,
Pondering every puzzle,
Dreaming every dream.
From what wellspring do these
thoughts spring?
When diving so deep most will get lost.
Failure to escape …
It leads to death.
Absconding with knowledge …
It leads to beauty.

This piece was based around wondering what a poet is and how close the thoughts of a poet come to near insanity.
