Music of Wisdom

In another place in time, he stood aware A violin of broken strings, his hair in silence flowed Best of all, he still had hope Knowing even silence was a product of great value... Now surge forth the music of wisdom From the aged who have a way to know Observing in youth a greater folly Designed enigma to perpetuate a greater tale Ah, the warming of the heart is slow… See it all like every moment new Just passing by, the movie you Greater than any theater would dare Hairline fading starts enlightenment pervading

The Aged one Copious Thanks to Fred Jagenberg For the built link between them and Wisdom, especially with its enforcing last line. But the question is "Would the youth for Wisdom start dying for Accelerated Ageing Process or Keep merely commending the speaker's thoughtful lines?"

Beautiful piece! You gave a new meaning to wisdom, especially for those who love music. Our taste in music and our gained wisdom through life's journey changes as we age and perhaps, become we become fine-tuned as a result of it.
