First Things First

A Poem by drcornelius

Harry didn’t write

to convey all he was


His hopes, fears,

joys, dreams and sorrows


He wrote for only one purpose

To create a mindmap

of his own evolving consciousness


He wrote for lack of

knowing the questions


He wrote for lack of

knowing the answers


All he could do was write

and trust that the questions

would reveal themselves


That the answers

would reveal themselves


Only then, he hoped,

would he be able to understand

and convey all he was


His hopes fears

joys dreams and sorrows


Through his writing,

He didn’t discover himself

He created himself
