The Wise Man

The Wise Man Ever seeking the answers of the universe To a myriad of baffling, unsolved theories Delving deeper, within thoughts so diverse Exploring all the mystifying profound queries He sits alone immersed in his inner tranquility Within an aura of peace surrounding him whole Understanding many wonderful things a possibility In this realm, peaceful serenity his ultimate goal In his humble abode, a life of solitude No need for possessions of any kind Simplistic of things he shows gratitude Within a peaceful clarity of mind Many seek out this humble wise man To ask many puzzling queries of time And from whence all life once began Seeking answers in his wisdom sublime The answers you seek, seemingly strange To believe can be found in the simplest word Perhaps a life changing event will rearrange With an understanding of what is being inferred He quietly exclaims “Behold your answers lie within, deepest inward you must look into your mortal soul, cast off your burdens that endow such chagrin, allow none other than peace, willingly take control “
