Good Advice

Long ago and far away
In small village by the sea
I sat on the knee of a very wise man
Softly he spoke

Tales of his youth
Stories of his conquests
Memories of his loves
Wisdom's buried not in words

His kindness may have been silent
His gentle way was soothing
A warrior he could be
If a war you should run after

His knowledge now buried
In a snowy mountain peek
I traveled to this biblical land
For good advice is hard to seek

Nothing, not a revelation did I find
I sat tired on the crest of a cliff
Seeing the sun rise upon my soul
It dawned on me at last

I was he
