Really Wise

by Tom Kitt — Read all 95 poems by Tom Kitt

Apollo and Daphne by Giancarlo Bernini 1598.

Apollo must have the female, he needs her - needs to entrap Love. Daphne knows better and is attempting to escape Apollo's limitations. She is changing form to become a tree; escaping through nature - dying to her body. Dying to live in Love instead of illusion.

I am nothing!
- Socrates

Really Wise

Are you really wise
Do you live to die
Do you measure every moment
As your last?

Do you play your cards
Hedge your bets
Are you alive and well
In the throes of hell?

Are you on the edge
Of love to pledge
Lock and key
A place to shell?

Do you know the prize
Are you naked
Are you sharp and clear
Each moment to disappear?

Like a river to fear
Are you really clear
Do you live out there -
Somewhere out there?

Have you lost your mind
Are your names undone
Do you have no other
Do you die to live?

Are you really wise?

I really like the thoughts here. What if every moment was your last, and then you got a reprieve? Would you do something good, be that Hero that you always dreamed of? Action
