The Genius and the Monk
7/31/2010
(2010 I am surprised I had these words and feelings back then!)
Both Are Awake in Very Different States
In Very Different States
They say geniuses and monks
sleep in short spurts.
The genius awoken by his own brilliance
finds unrest day and night.
The monk in meditation enjoys
a restful, peaceful mind.
The monk, refreshed
with enlightening breath.
The genius, intoxicated
by unrelenting stress;
the knowledge that
there is more to know,
he is compelled to think.
The monk, wise
closes his mind and eyes-
the answers, he knows, are within.
