Wisdom

Wisdom exists, it just is, always has been

To be felt or heard maybe sometimes seen. 

Been around forever to guide and show us the way,

But only if we want to hear what it has to say! 

Or else it lets us go and make our own mistakes, 

And learn the lessons meant for us the hard way

It is not only the current sensibilities assimilated, 

But also the collective knowledge accumulated:

Through generations past, and geographies apart,

Sometime understood instantly or maybe in part.

Those who learn from others are indeed smart,

But for others it hits them a bit like sharp dart!

Pinching and uncomfortably stinging, hurting a lot!

Hence wisdom's appeal is to take a bit from the pot.

Utilize what's available in the wise world with courage,

And allow the bank of wisdom prevent possible damage.

Through signs and synchronicity, or maybe a friendly message,

Wisdom tries to find ways to send cues to us, familiar or strange.
