Looking

– for erudite thought –

While eager to find
Endures be sought,
Said sanguine time 
For erudite thought, 
Abides one inclined
By inspired epoque, 
Wants trust defined
Composed as ought,
Optimistic assigned 
Tho may’ve sought,
To acquire consign 
Decidedly brought,
Save deviate minds
Shall suppress not,
Hide merit in kind
Held as calculus lot,
Seek Einstein design!

The Why   





       – of it all –





 Me, myself 
 And I,
 On the shelf
 Ye ask why,
 Of it all 
 Tho once shy,
 Not the lot
 Yet disguised,
 Or for naught
 Saves one aim, 
 To but hide
 Insecure,  
 Be underside 
 Awaits cure,
 To so bide
 Asks the why, 
 Of it all
 Has one cry,
 May find resolve!

                “Ours not to reason why, ours but to do and die”

“ Looking ”  ~ for a thought ~

	


		

		
Looking


For a thought


Be mine,


Wisest of the lot


Held depict mankind,


Perhaps


So be judged


In time,


Regardless


Of the shadow


One may find,


It cast upon my grave


Tho no matter, if survives


To keep its worth alive,


As a thought wants saved!
