Titus 1:15
I too gazed and never saw or knew
But what I knew before
Perspectives of my own point of view
That made me excited and sure
Then leaving it all, I more foolish still
Beacame, and bore the jeers
That could not outweigh the joy of will
Consuming tasks that others fear
ii
And he, turned inside out for the laugh
Say look again, his private mind piles
Explorers and blunderers with thin raft
Down the rapids, where proof defiles
Not his craft that sturdily surge the flow
But theirs who with self lense pine to see
What they have taught by fears to know.
Yet none question the strange consistency
With so many pieces of that expectation
That forms the norm that achieve ill goals
I offer no other sublime, no more refutation
But hold to my intents though tempest howls.
Laugh then, I shall not stutter this to repeat
But gladly engage my choice that well brings
The adventurer, self-certain, every heat.
My ash shall only show my sleep, but no stings.
