Tetrapharmakos by ~GrievousError:iconGrievousError:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Philosophical > Sonnet


The pinnacle in form and mind, and also in alignment
Dissolution, disconnection, the ultimate undoing
Warmth in your chest, belly full after chewing
Pain then relief, release of stressful confinement
Four points of concern born of ancient refinement
Born in a garden and kept alive through the ages
Challenged and buffeted in another history’s pages
In hell lies Dante’s appraisal’s consignment

But what fruit born of fear leads any to joy?
Death and gods the dreams of primitive terror
In pursuit beyond means, reason, the mind wrapped in cloy
Never once feigning to consider an error

We sit in the throne of ourselves and surrender
Forgetting the stars, world, mind, life itself in their splendor

In my interpretation, it's about creation, and that having a joyous outlook in religion will guide you to the stars. That's my true belief.

Wow, excellent. Especially the part that questions fear's ability to lead to joy.

It's a wonder that "humans" can beat monsters at being monstrous.

Welllll, not quite. XD Still, they say that it's the reading that matters, not author intent. (It's close, just from the opposite perspective.)

How was your Fourth? :3
