Wisdom Divine
by Seah Greenhorn
( Poem with copyright )
Exists
a beauty in wisdom
seems
to travels valleys, mountains,
streams forth
to hold court
to extol the presence of kings
of new
recanting values considered old,
though,
these treasures are 'apples of gold.'
Mortal man of earthen clay,
who's seen injustice holding sway,
but sees and walks the balance beam
is praised as wise on a human scene.
Yet,
as doves ascending to endless skies, ascending higher
than our heart's eyes
Divine Wisdom
transcends
our intelligent,
though imperfect minds.
However,
it reaches down to touch the souls
who search for it; cherish it. Live it: bold.
These ones in understanding shall never perish if this wisdom's not in arrogant pride sold.
