Wisdom's Light
The journey to find my soul’s embrace
From this world, an endless race
Through volcanic trials and fierce flames
Unforeseen typhoons, waves of shame
Yet try as they might, in the dark of night
My hope arrives as a single Light
As Wisdom yields this powerful truth,
Losing yet gaining all I once knew:
Our flesh and bones grow old and decay
Yet our souls grow strong with each passing day
