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 “
