without names

A Poem by Davidgeo
"

.

"
to negotiate the main obstacle
accumulate great advantage
acquire a position to act upon all
though remain in a station to meddle on none
and expand boundless but intrude nowhere
let the jewels remain buried in the mountain
find worth in both pride and in shame
design great ability to conquer nothing
this is true greatness
a light in the absolute darkness
unnamed 
a great wealth left unspent
walking nameless
along a road heavily traveled
gaining everything
but keeping nothing
learning only to teach
making great leaps
over great distance
for no reasons at all

Loved it, same with Carlos. I enjoyed the meaning there presented in a way that shares a perspective I haven't seen or heard of, but somehow agree with. Great read, you sound like a philosopher from a century back in this one. It's really good.
