Quoting the Wise

The thoughts of many great men he kept repeating

Believing in that way his wisdom to increase

But poorer his mind became by each passing day

Since nothing he said could his ignorance decrease!*

Listen to the voice of the spirit within, the voice of your soul and reflect on them as they relate to your life, to find your Truth. Your poems give me much to reflect upon.
