Shadows of Wisdom
Listen to poem:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Despite its vastness, wisdom may appease.
Your darkest fears that keep you up at night,
Such as wicker crypts where hues limit light,
More important is your mellow serene breeze.
Shun worrying through what those may say in jest,
Might suffer or speak in your short-lived fame.
Since prestige is only a false claim,
While true self-worth lies within your chest.
Reading books till one's eyes begin to dim,
Yet, the knowledge to grasp appears from eyes.
Each move you make is consistently wise,
When faced with life's ever-shifting whim.
Past anguished serves as an anchor reminder.
Of who we are, and visions we seek to find.
