there are passages and light
doorways to awareness
yet so lavishly lit
but don't just merely think about
things
aspire to become one
with such thoughts
the mysteries of life
will fall away
in the wake of
honest reflection
mysteries yet purposed
in the lull
doubles
as teacher
the coat of healer
it wears only in
the lap of grief
make wiser your words
and wear wisdom well
in the face of crisis
kindness is
the living skin of the soul
and love is the blood
ah
but wisdom is the foundation
that we build our entire spirit
lives upon ................
