“Smart” is learned
“Wise” is earned
“Smart” is learned
“Wise” is earned
Twirling, spinning, joyous dancing
All about the clouds
With you
As the sun winks out and the stars awaken
I find in your eyes
True beauty
Life
As if all the universe till that point had strived
To bring us to that moment
To fill our hearts with joy
And your eyes with light
Like the light of creation itself
The stars are ours
Our souls, a story
Far longer than
This life
I see that tale
In your
Eyes.
Why do we often turn about
To find that someone new
Has suddenly appeared within
The man in the mirror?
Who is he? Why’s he chosen now
To show himself to me?
What will he teach me ‘fore he’s gone
Replaced by another?
I only hope the lessons he
can teach to me ring true;
For he is me, and I am he
One, just as we are two.
“Steady as she goes,”
he said, but the sea was strong,
and the going, rough.
Wherefore does the wind sing so
Whistling
Twisting
Roaring
Though hearts grow cool
Though walls grow thick
And though calluses grow all round
Let not life’s troubles harden you
Allow feeling
Allow truth
Allow light
A heavy heart is better
Than an empty one
There is much yet to do
Ah, but the trees!
Though it’s often slow
To build a strong foundation
Is to build quite well
Give not your words
But your ears
Give not your body
But an open heart
When the rain patters
You’ll find me in my armchair
With a book in hand
