His fate came from his change in beliefs.
The gods of his time were not tolerant
Of a lessening of devotion, nor were their followers

The refinement of his beliefs came from the
Unfolding of his fate. Circles.

There is something in this story
An archetype of divine talent
In human form.

But ultimately out of control
Final rending, symbolic
And literal.

Back to the organs of brilliance
Dust to dust with ongoing
Dissemination.
