Wisdom is “listening”
to the heart in between beats…
The sounds of silence speak
quietly and pursue peace.
Wisdom is “prudence”
of vision devoid of projection…
Reflective dreams reveal
the transparency of facts.
Wisdom is “truth”
in speech shunning deceit…
Words are full of grace
when blessed with fruit
Wisdom is “detached”
from the world avoiding deals…
The have-to of being involves
commitment to the response.
Wisdom is “compassion”
for all without judgment…
Indifference requires
gentle mercy with kindness.
