This Is Me

The wisest of the wise listens to the trees, the wind, the rustling of the leaves, while watching for the butterflies. The wisest of the wise knows That being vulnerable is the only defense we have against the others. so she spills her heart, singing her truth to the world. The wisest of the wise has the best arsenal of all against those who want to generalize, stereotype, and hate others. She can defeat anger, hostility, and greed with genuineness, pureness, goodness, and love. The wisest of the wise holds up her sword of magnificence not in a show of power, but in love, and admiration for others. They say, "This is me, take me as I am." This strikes terror in those who have not yet found this confidence in themselves The wisest of the wise, listens, and learns, and helps them to find their me true self too.

Thank you, Daniel. I was on a roll today, as i was doing what I do best, counseling a child who also needed to write poetry. We wrote 6 poems together, side by side, in silence, in love.
