Hey there! So, I stumbled upon this cool poem called “The Chaos” by Gerard Nolst Trenité. It’s this crazy, brilliant take on the chaos of English language. It totally blew my mind! Got me thinking about all the giants among us, you know, those super-talented folks.
That’s what inspired me to write this little ode. It’s like a chat about life, envy, contentment, and the scattered thoughts we all have.
On Giants
Filled with awe for
Giants amongst us, men
And women bursting
With talent galore
Evergreen glades of fables,
and lore, shimmering
Through minds of grand bards.
Awakening emotions
Of us minions.
The ones who must seethe,
A gust of envy blows in,
Our hearts; hollow hills.
Yet, battling fiercely
As well, is soft contentment,
Finding it’s just place
Settling into crags
Of scattered thoughts, feelings
Profound with wisdom.
We agree, we bow,
They observe it all, we learn,
Holding hands with them.
