I’m looking for a new way
I see wisdom has a calm face
Neutral eyes and silent lips
Holding hands are taking risks
They’re trying hard not be the fool
Who knows nothing is asking questions
Telling truths he sees himself
Letting go the rules he held  
Not knowing sure a thing or two
Yet seeing things like crystal true
And in the mind of such a fool
The seconds fade and time is gone
All of life in but one moment
Time is not but an illusion
The fool is wise is my conclusion  


I am the two-toed wanderer
