I swear to you, divine Apollo, that All this time I have been waiting for a ray of your light to come, A sign, from your part, to guide me out of the labyrinth of ignorance, onto the Road of understanding and to direct me your enigmatic maxim Correctly to decipher Tell me, oh God of poetry, Is there a secret way to lead me into the knowledge of myself? A mystic experience of some sort, perchance? An epiphany that the truth to me could be revealed Or The quest for knowledge of me should be, perhaps, the result of My doing? Interpreting your silence My guess, Oh God of eloquence, your answer would rather be the latter For If the former was true, till now, your revelation to me you would have Made known Believe me, oh God of prophecy, Innumerable times have I tried to reach the depths of my being, The innermost part of my soul, Searching the answer there and only there to find But Still, my efforts a constant failure were and are thus Ignorant I still remain Could you, Oh God of light, tell me what is the cause of my failure? Is it because: My soul’s eye have I blinded, by trying constantly into the phenomena, the Answer to find? That only through others I tried myself to know? That in dialogue had I never with myself really engaged? That honest enough was I not with me the truth to tell? That courage I never had to admit my shortcomings? That my trespasses so easily forgave while onto others constantly All my faults projected? YES, now clearly I see the errors I have made, The errors that prevented me the very truth of myself to know: The one, that under the appearances, You very well have hidden Deep, within the innermost part of my being, where the Universal Truth Since my birth resides Oh, Holy One, now unmistakably I start to realize, You are the reason for my being, the Alpha and Omega of my life Nothing could ever happen as it should If With your celestial Will, fail to harmonize! © Demetrios Trifiatis 14 MARCH 2014 Apollo, son of Zeus and Leto! The sun God and God of fine arts, music, prophecy, poetry, and eloquence! Over the entrance of Apollo’s most famous temple, at Delphi, it was written “ YOU EXIST” meaning the only thing man knows about God is that GOD EXISTS, but in order for Man to acquire wisdom to know God, he had first to follow Apollo’s command to Man which was “ Know Thyself.” Note: I posted the poem yesterday but deleted it by mistake soon after so I post it again!
