The figures fill the empty, waiting page,
The groups, the patterns form something of naught,
But not the wise ones' wisdom or the sage,
Instead of phrases, numbers here that ought,
in worlds of dark, chaotic, senseless words.
To me, they free the mysteries of time,
release among the sky uncaged new birds,
who won't stand contrived beauty a moment,
longer, Why this pointless glamour? Without,
some logic, useless is the bright poet.
The death of understanding: quiet shout,
The infinite is held in math's own grasp,
Yet without words, no great thoughts seem to last.
