Of Problem Solving

When with great resolve
A predicament's solved
It distinguishes wise men apart
From extemporaneously
Reacting spontaneously
And sliding once more back to start

It can manifest instantly
But don't think consistently
You'll rid of the wraith just as fast
Once the beast gets a taste
Of forbiddable haste
It grows as perennial as grass

So with patience and grace
Courageously face
The ghosts that dim pink hearts to gray
Devout perseverance
Is rewarded with clearance
Tranquility and prayer to lead them astray
