Listen

To heed these words that leaves their mouths Whether they speak mild or shout aloud To accept your fate from a “lesser mind” And agree to what their hearts outlined To grace their humble mouths with proud ears And yield to all their many fears To face the crowd of your pupil’s age Yet learn from what reads in their page And now stepped down from wisdom’s horse Still watch the young ones climb on top Now unfound in new found humility Until you gain your life and sanity You wonder and walk it’s wilderness For a whiff of time or endlessness And after all you now see clearly This covered wisdom now held dearly Just when the storm is withered Where unto blessedness you’ve entered For with eyes as full as the thinker’s head You should lay rest on your humble head
