Notes About The Poem

' DIVINE AND HUMAN KNOWLEDGE ' MY PHOTO, ©  

Nikola Tesla

Entrusted by the Gods
with the secrets of heavens,
Nikola Tesla, *

like a new Prometheus, **
 
into the deem-lighten world of
phenomena walked
determined to dissipate ignorance's fog
and
let divinity's knowledge of universal
laws shine bright.

Alas,

Man's haze of confusion and doubt
didn't allow the intensity of his shining mind illumine
technology's path till its ultimate goal  
thus
living unanswered many questions asked by us,
mere mortals, who still strive to comprehend the
magnitude of his genius
that
was impregnated with the cosmological principles of
being and becoming which constitute the
eternal truth that steers the Cosmos!

Thank you for liking it. Hugs xxx

Tom Cunningham January 13, 2020 at 9:51 AM An amazing tribute for an amazing man Demetrios, his inventions now used worldwide. What a great honour for you that Serbia his birthplace has asked you to write a poem about one of their famous sons. Tom Demetrios Trifiatis January 13, 2020 at 11:00 AM Tom my friend, what a wonderful comment you have penned! Thank you so much. Now, more than before I think to send this little tribute. You and Vijay have reinforced my conviction that I should send it! I will linger for a few hours before I do though! Thank you for your kind help! Blessings!

Vijay Pandit January 13, 2020 at 8:37 AM Awesome tribute you wrote Demetrios--some don't get the recognition deserved--you gave him voice in this poem. So great to see the colorful flowers when I am in the midst of winter. Demetrios Trifiatis January 13, 2020 at 8:47 AM My dearest friend, Vijay, they wrote me from Serbia where they prepare a book of my poetry translated into Serbian language, to write a poem about TESLA and they are going to publish it in English and Serbian language! This poem was the result of such a request and you my friend, are the first to see and to read. You see I was wondering to send it or not. With your comment here I am inclined to send it. WHAT DO YOU THINK? Please, let me know! Thank you! PS: The picture of the flowers took it yesterday at 13:00 Greek time! Glad you like them!
