          simple truth

the wind that blows,
a deep-forest glade,
flowers in the sunlight,
the smallest patch of clay,
an ever-welcome rain in Spring…
hold more quiescent wisdom
than all the finest libraries
that have ever been.

Yo Secondhanddreampoet,

Man defines wisdom.  It is however he defines it.

.

The simple truth
is life is not forever.
Beyond that is poetry.
