Long-form poetry:

337/Expression of Expression of Knowledge

He asked why he never had clear answers, he asked why there was never certainty in sight; Even as he was consistently told that free will, randomness was the determiner of all things, he prophesized, he acted as the fortune teller of all fortune tellers seeing every collapse and every victory, taking the unaccounted risk for granted.

Failure came and the pain he faced, he feasted upon claiming: "This pain is my victory! This pain is my pleasure! This pain is all that matters! The pleasure is only for trivial pursuits, the losses being much greater!" His masochism got the better of him and inevitably he dropped all pleasurable pursuits and began only to kill and massacre for a living, believing this was the truest service of all worlds. He was left stronger, hardier and more able than all beings in existence, even much more than those that have experienced everything that could be reasonably experienced in this universe on worlds of peace and damnation.

But he wept: "Why have I been so forsaken? Why am I no longer aided in my service?"

And a golden being, an angel of light came to him and offered this consolidation: "Because, my son and my brother, you have shown yourself to be all things more than we could ever be, you have displayed yourself as the eternal creator and destroyer but we can only be one of these."

"But, my friends, why can you not embrace your own darkness?"

"For we are only able to bear so much in the moment that contains all that we can presently see. We can inevitably become you but for us the time towards such a feat will be much greater."

He became calm: "Well, out of my dearest love, I shall wait for you as I am in love with your light as I am in love with my darkness."

And the waiting began and continued until all was reconciled. What remained was a figure of light at the center of all life and experience. Its service beyond any conceivable recognition. The universe was no longer a place of just experience but a place of ever-expanding intelligence of the highest regard, honor and prosperity. Life as we know it no longer sought sustenance but victory in every moment.
