A Word Is Enough For the Wise

A word is enough for the wise A round ball blaze ahead At night, glisten like gold I watched it for while Pleasant breeze whistle Made me release my inner soul I wonder how far the sky is Custodian of night kiss My soul, I smile aglow Stars also smile to me aglow Evocative thoughts bring to me My past, intoxicates me Like drunkard, I felt awkward Yesterday I smile behind a finger because I aren't discover myself, today I smile out loudly, because I know who I am Knowledge, wisdom Is not by power, when will you start To listen to your heart? When will you know your weakness and worth? When will you believe in yourself? Just hen you will know the right Step to climb, that was my last thought Of discovery. I felt stung of an unknown ant On my leg, this brings me back to my present position I nearly lost myself under the oak tree I sat on Watching the golden moon You may also be smiling behind a finger as I do, what decision You have for progress that you aren't made? Make a while the sun shines Also look before you leap, tomorrow there may not be chance A word is enough for the wise

So true about a word being enough, and your urge to doing rather than contemplating. Great advise. However you could do with a spelling and grammar check. For I'm sure you meant that an "ant", not an "aunt" stung you on the leg. Keep up the great work, it is a pleasure to read your words.
