I have walked among geniuses
each of their kind
But I only saw outlines
as if I was blind
The core of each being
the seat of their soul
has somehow eluded
my view of the whole
To not see the forest
for all of the trees
A classic mistake
and the way many see
I have walked among geniuses
all of this time
Taken for granted
the way I take mine
While some have been noted
others have not
I finally notice
the ones I forgot
Revealing the grandeur
that’s been there for me
I am humbled by genius
wherever I see
