Mystery

The Geometer's Gambit

 

In realms where reason's light grows dim,

A mad seer sought to unlock the divine;

With compass, straight-edge and a zealot's whim,

He etched a triangle, a secret sign.

 

A mad seer sought to unlock the divine,

In golden ratios, irrational and pure;

He etched a triangle, a secret sign

Of truths that lesser minds could not endure.

 

In golden ratios, irrational and pure,

One to root phi to phi, a cosmic key

Of truths that lesser minds could not endure—

A sequence forged in sacred geometry.

 

One to root phi to phi, a cosmic key,

With Pythagoras' wisdom intertwined;

A sequence forged in sacred geometry,

In this symbol, the Sublime enshrined.

 

 

With Pythagoras' wisdom intertwined—

Behold! The Kepler Triangle manifest!

In this symbol, the Sublime enshrined:

Beauty's madness and Nature's behest.

 

 

Behold! The Kepler Triangle manifest!

Reveal to mortal eyes your strange design;

Beauty's madness and Nature's behest—

A mad seer sought to unlock the divine.

 

 

Reveal to mortal eyes your strange design,

With compass, straight-edge and a zealot's whim;

In realms where reason's light grows dim,

A geometer's gambit—risk soul and limb.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

"The Geometer's Gambit" - A 20-line extended pantoum about a seeker using geometric tools (compass and straightedge) to delve into divine mathematical truths through the Kepler Triangle. The poem adheres to the pantoum's repeating line structure to convey a narrative of mystical mathematical exploration.
