Negotiating Wisdom

How many hours are invested
in convincing Job's comforters
of disputable convictions


when perhaps 


depth lies in silent dialogues 

between a heart and a mind,

and can never be fully understood 

while lips attempt negotiations
to coerce agreements

by voicing disagreements...


... perhaps even wisdom has deviations;
maybe, wisdom in essence

is what works best for you 

when you need an answer.
