The Enneagram cycle. Type 5

I am a glimpse
Into the mysteries of the world.
As the grace of the Universe unfolds,
I am always there for you -
For each of you I seem to care
But beware
Of my mind, so witty yet perplexed
And my light yet obscure gestures.

The world is so alluring
When I try to solve it like a riddle.
As fit as a fiddle,
With lucid and fresh hues
Of gloriously deep and natural
Inventions, I inhale
My concentrated attention.

Lemon, mint and lime
Are a hint
And they show
How refined is the innate decline
Of human worth.

As an investigator,
I don't delve into your
Greasy and gorgeously dirty clothes -
It's the way of thinking that you chose
That keeps my acute mind
In captivity.


The reality of your mistakes
Creates a stable basis
For my emotional escapades.

While looking for solutions
And perfect conclusions
For moral institutions,
I keep my soul incinerated
By complicated yet harmnious schemes.

A tremendous sea
Of fundamental knowledge is one of my dreams.


* Second part of my Enneagram cycle.
Type 5 (the Investigator) is one of the most abstract and intellect-driven representatives of the Enneagram.

By finding similar patterns they reveal the mysteries of the nature and the mankind. For themselves, however, they seek peace and quiet.

Science, as well as formalistic art schools, are important domains in which a 5's talent can evolve.
