Are You A Follower Of Trying To Be Sagacious? Poem by John Duffy

Are you a follower of trying to be Sagacious?

(A lone voice whispers)

Here's to you

The readers, writers and poets in whatever field

Always remember
Seeking further knowledge is a gift

It's how we all grow in whatever we do

So never yield and constantly look for more ways to lift

Even if it means entering the long hours into a lone graveyard shift

Keep searching like a metaphorical Indiana Jones or Lara Croft

For a treasure to help those who might be drifting in seas

Where hope seems not to exist

And who might just need something to darkness resist


Title:
Self-Knowledge

Do you believe in absorbing the esoteric linked to living

The supernatural impressions linked to just giving

To help clear your own pathways to find ways to deliver poetic prayers

To those struggling with just living

With any mental or traumatic depression's

To then walk down life's many metaphysical runways

Like a young Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel or an inspired

Paul Poiret

If so
Because I believe
In you

Always be optimistic

For true belief
Lies in all you do

To help transform your soul
Into a sage or mystic

Allowing you to chase rare stars and wild Middle Earth dreams

To bind mistakes
To white feathers

To then throw them into Healing Fires

For their old powers over you
To in rising grey smoke
Retire

As you learn
Which new bridges to
Cross

And which old bridges
To burn

For
Sacred Self Knowledge
Is ubiquitous

A chimera

A conjunction of wild beasts
Roaming wild

Living life through
Nine letters

Like a follower of being sagacious

Which to the child of the Revived

Can never be
Denied
