Premium Member Wiser It Is

Wiser it is to do as much as we are able to today for tomorrow may never come!

Premium Member Older and Wiser

It may be a truism to surmise
That as we get older
We get wiser.
It may also be equally as true
That as we get older
We simply run out of
Stupid things to do.

Premium Member None the Wiser

if the blind primate trusts in what he can’t see ~ is it still illusory 

said the deaf primate to his mute friend ~ gesticulating at a lorry

Premium Member older is not always wiser

older is not always wiser
a saying proven wrong many times
I have met many wise children
they recognize the power of love
whereas dementia is often overlooked in elders who were never wise
age

Premium Member Years Make You Wiser

Actual knowledge
Conducts to better choices 
In the present life
Eschewing wrong decisions
Realized in past decades

Premium Member A wiser grand-daughter

Little Red Riding Hood
riding solo in the hood
wondered if she should
hit the wolf where he stood.
He was pretending to gather wood
but she well knew he was up to no good.

Premium Member I'm Wiser Now

I used to do it all
But it was never enough

I’d go over and above
I’d do better than my best
And still it wasn’t up to par

Now I barely do enough
And guess what~
I’m in no worse predicament

It still isn’t enough
But at least...
I know why

Yes it still sucks
But finally
I’m ok with it

Premium Member Words From the Wiser Me

What would the future, wiser me
The lonely widow I'm sure to be
Say to me, today

How precious, his baritone groan
To muted ears left all alone
Once he's flown away

Life's rivers drain abruptly swift
So recognize this timeless gift
Let this moment - stay

Premium Member Wiser Than I

dragonfly
300 million years
wiser than I


Dragonflies or "odonates,” are among the most ancient insects and were some of the first winged insects to evolve, about 300 million years ago. While modern dragonflies have wingspans of about two to five inches, fossil dragonflies have been found with wingspans of up to two feet!

Discoveries In Life

Every step
we learn.
Every step
we discover.
The things we never knew,
thought we would never know,
there it is !
Because we searched.
in amazement in front of us
was hidden all this time,
hidden only from those
uninterested.
But those among us
wanted
before we depart,
one more thing we learned,
one more step - we are
wiser. older.

Premium Member The Older Wiser Spider

>•< >•< >•< >•< >•< >•< >•< >•< >•< >•< 


The older wiser spider, now faster than the storm,

found his way inside and at last was dry and warm 

but he strolled to his demise when he passed me in my room, 

for the older wiser spider was slower than the broom...

Water-Use Wiser

Little drops of water, makes a mighty ocean
Care for the water, care for the future
Waste not, resource short, reuse lot.

 A way to save is to Water harvest,
 Better choice is to have greater forest,
  Not to cut trees, grow bigger and biggest

Impress and please nature, water the need
Precious and pure, save the stream and the seed
Never harm the nature, it’s the source of our feed.

Although I'Ve Gotten a Bit Wiser

Although I've Gotten a Bit Wiser

There is of course the ruin of the old,
when the dead pass through them
like dreams or shadows, darkly
and without purpose-

drinking wine and prune juice they 
forget the dead in a hideous chair
outside the GS supermarket.

How do I forget the dead?

How do I forget myself? 

... and then, as if by magic,
reason prevails...

although, I've gotten a Budweiser.

Premium Member Wiser

Older does not necessarily 
equate to wiser -- but wiser
can often make one seem a lot
older; in fact, robbed of youth
by poverty and war, I have
sadly met, too many premature
ancients: -- cynicism 
in their eyes; where
should reside bright, hopeful
gleams -- dreams, obliterated,
man's faux surface designs over-inking truer light, 
little more than colorful
tattoos
of ever
deeper
representation
of spirit
terminating
blight --

Premium Member The Coat

Maybe you could tell, I wasn't doing that well, 
so you took off your coat and gave it to me.
Felt the warmth of you in shades of powder blue,   
though it was supposed to be our spring.
 
Always looking over your shoulder,
your soul seems wiser and older..
yet leftover seasons won't let you be.. 
what was it you hoped to see?

Weeks and months came and went,    
fragile years so quickly spent. 
Are you happy now that I wrote?
Or maybe angry..
I never returned your coat.

Wiser Miser Who Ia a Supervisor

https://www.facebook.com/StMatthewsEpiscopalChurch

a knowledge miser
when he had become wiser
now a supervisor

what we did intend
much money to them will lend
all of it can spend

price gains and gains
from all of our money drains
price high still remains

more oil can create
high price will eradicate
how to educate

great start made to stitch
are not sure the one or which
that did have a glitch

new one we have found
was a townhouse on the ground
silent with no sound
