Unlike the prophet Moses,
Who saw the box's picture,
And smashed the grand design
To disconnected pieces;

Unlike genius Da Vinci,
He, with imagination,
From wood we write upon,
And ink, made masterpieces.

I must, like Nostradamus,
Along with intuition,
Scry from my crystal ball
Some coalesced abstraction.

Like Humpty Dumpty's falling,
Within itself a failure,
This child cannot be king,
With lost and inverse pieces.

No, I am just a blind man,
Stumbling into ideas.
I listen to my heart,
As I puzzle out the art.

I love how you go from great names to Humpty Dumpty to yourself in this poem. Very nicely structured and humble even.
