Learning

Leap with calm poise as ideas come,
Explore the way that learning grows;
Ask and sift choice to weigh and sum,
Reach to frame play as work now shows;
Nurture a need to understand,
Impulse needs calm to think things out;
Note how thoughts feed the final plan,
Good form is balm to prime sane shout.
Wealth shows profound in actual flow,
Ignite the fire that warms the air;
Stand on firm ground with inner glow,
Devise and sire that poignant fare;
Obey the feel where heart meets mind,
Move thoughts that thrill what soul aligns.
