so much power in such few words....wisdom occurs when knowledge is disturbed....by Faith and Faith alone, the only power higher....because it brings out our best, the only way it can inspire....;)

Kim, I love how you did a metaphorical one here. Yes, knowledge and wisdom are DIFFERENT and it's great that you recognize that difference. With Google, Knowledge is now the number one thing they "go to" in this world. Only the wise ones seek more wisdom! BTW, I felt good about my own entry in this contest till I saw her rule that I needed to change the theme. I did a Sara Teasdale's first line, but failed to read the poem first. It turns out, Teasdale's is a love poem just like mine. YIKES
