Wisdom

Quarks and Quasars amaze stargazers

staring into space time

publishing papers only the select read.

I have looked into the books

ancient; never new

and have sealed them into my chest.

Wisdom leaps across narrows and steeps

it swims with Leviathan 

and even strolls on two legs.

Truth rests upon the lowly and best

it circumscribes craggy heights

and anchors in the sunless depths.

Knowledge is etched within throats catched

with desire and contemplation

the university of journeys.

Certainty is proffered 

the depth of need

desperation and hope

a diploma unframed.

Listen to me, I am a working piston

stroking with the energy

from the flash of beginnings.

Seek wisdom, purchase it as a ransom

free to live within your breast

treasured forever!
