The Infinite Odyssey of Knowledge
In the shadows, secrets lie,
Treasures hidden, awaiting the eye.
Yet countless enigmas still unknown,
Unveiled by no man or ancient tome.
Neither oracles divine, nor gods on high,
Could quell the worries that plagued my mind.
And so, I embarked upon a quest,
To distant lands, with resolve, no rest.
In the City of Knowledge, I tarried long,
Seeking wisdom, where I might belong.
For decades and ages, I searched in vain,
Not in college, nor elders could it be gained.
No easy gift from kin or friend,
At times, it seemed to be locked within a pen.
A few blocks hence, my journey led,
To an old man, solitude his stead.
Beside him, I paused, my weary soul,
Respite sought before pursuing my goal.
No passersby cared, nor offered respite,
Shunned as a low life, out of their sight.
With open heart, I shared my bread,
Together we dined, with wine we were fed.
His hand grasped mine, his eyes alive,
A whispered promise, a beckoning drive.
"Come! Follow me, let my path unfold,
The secrets of the world, to you, I'll hold.
I am the infinite Deity, transcendent and wise,
I am Knowledge, a treasure in disguise.
I am the essence, the force divine,
The God of truth, of reason, of time.
Join me on this eternal quest,
To seek, to learn, to grow, and be blessed."
