The realizations of a young man do not come in youth,
Epiphany’s call comes much later.

It is where he finds his eyes in the experiences of life.
The lessons much more appreciated, the “realizations”
Finally seen for their truths,

Wisdom’s voice is but a mere whisper in youth,
A distant sound of far off rumbling,

It is the island where upon, a bright beacon shines
Lighting the way to future endeavor, future insight and knowing,

This call to truth is universal, this beacon, universal…
Time and space are but minor barricades,
For in time all things will show themselves

It is but a waiting game, it is but a duty of vigilance
Where sentient thought already exists;
Where realization will surely follow.

Peace of  mind can only be achieved when we find peace with self

I have to agree with the philosophy in this one.
Truth is a measure of true character, some are just slower than others accepting it.

AND, YES, it does hide outside youthful expectancy somewhat.

Good work!

"Wisdom’s voice is but a mere whisper in youth,
