Enlightened Mile

Manifested intelligence spoke,
abound and abound,
the words gushed like stream,
thoughts poured like in dreams,
make me wiser,
said the listener,
I want to hear more and more,
Whatever I have heard,
had gone inside,
and tore my established mores,
tell me more,
I am parched,
I can soak,
all you ever spoke,
the wise spoke and spoke,
and in the end,
did only a little smile,
and whispered,
Good that you have heard it all,
better that you have understood,
best would be if you could practice a bit,
even if a little bit,
I would consider,
that you gone farther than before,
and covered a full mile.
