In Praise of Folly.
Folly…
Too long you have been scorned.
The wardens carved
in rock hard stone have turned
your verve and vigour into ruin.
But I am here to rescue you.
And I…your anima and friend
Will elevate your courage
and your fearless flights,
Above their massive envy
and their spite.
For Folly …you are brave.
And standing tall
on juts of jagged cliff
by the abyss…you do not fall.
And rowing into fierce and feral seas,
Wild winds and slicing storms,
You do not drown.
Oh Folly…how you dance with life,
You tease it…pull its strings.
But you’re the Victor… Seraphim.
Sagacious courage wins.
