Wiseman

Today I met A happy man Who simply sat With silent scan No words came forth As silence blurred The path up north In sacred spur. Words cannot go Beyond the bend Where grace can show A moving trend. Works do not work When all is still Yet great work jerks In fond goodwill Wise is the man Who feels he can Live and attend To fond intent Today I sat Spoke beyond words Saw wisdom set Voice yet unheard Today I see Truth and beauty That lets things be Sure harmony Cheer fits my face For now I see All time and space Come forth to be I am I see That happy man Who lives to be That cheery scan Leon Enriquez 20 November 2014 Singapore
