For a Fly Does Not Enter a Closed Mouth

Silence is Wisdom and a mouth of foolish folly is Knowledge lost... For listening is the sacred key the key that unlocks all Wisdom and Knowledge and the flapping jaw only boasts the prideful flesh I close my mouth of chatter I listen to Wisdom abound I gather the words of Knowledge And find a life, Profound... For a fly does not enter a closed mouth... Romani Proverb Poetry Contest Sponsor-Julia Ward 8/25/2019
