A Word For the Wise

How
I love
Etherees.
They make me feel
philosophical
and I want to impart
all the wisdom that I have
gathered through the course of my life.
Then again, a truly wise man knows
it would be wiser not to speak at all.

I often hold my tongue and I have found that when I do my silence speaks volumes. You are on top of your game Robin...Chris.
