Your first stanza! How do we mere mortals navigate this amazing puzzle of life? Can we even know what questions to ask? A grand, thought provoking poem.

how I missed your Genius, wise Poet
those two first verses, can be unfurled to help us glean
some of the disquieting truths in humanity\'s nature:
\'Deep into the consciousness
of those unlearned

Nothing grows more deadly
than the force of will\'
(in a Time when what is claimed as New
is often what generations before Knew
ergo, our modernity
is but an aesthetic ideal of cyclical regression
so as to grasp archaic wisdom\'s smoke signals
now transferred to digital screens, pages being flicked through with our nose tips
after mere glances...
see
we built the Museums, but forgot to accrue the knowledge
and ain\'t that just typical of us
\'oh humanity, how much potential
we waste
in each neglected generation we sacrifice
assuming, ease of life is what matters most\'

Oh boy, two in one! And quite different in tone, to each other. I guess 1 post in 24 hrs could bring that about.

Mystified (at first)
Elated (to see the meaning)

Arthurian Birthright
Kurt Philip Behm said:

I like, and have always liked Charlie. We\'re exactly the same age. The queens and my mother\'s pregnancy were a mirror of each other.

I think legends are so powerful because they stand just beyond reach.

God Save The King !

Arthurian Birthright
Eugene S. said:

Was actually just wondering if someone had posted a poem regarding the English monarchy, so I looked, and there it was. Certainly apropos, and well said, as always. You reckon Charles III will become Arthur I or will credence be given to the legend?
