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! © Demetrios Trifiatis 13 January 2020 * Nikola TESLA, Serbian - American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer and futurist. Born 1856, died in 1943. ** In Greek mythology, Prometheus is a Titan who is credited with the creation of Man from clay and who defies the gods by stealing fire and giving it to humanity.

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

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!

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.

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!
