Songs of Wisdom


How can you know
what it is I don’t show?
How can you know these things
that are untold?

I sense I could learn from you
So, teach me how to love
and show me how to live
and tell me how many years
have you been
in my heart and in my head?

The vibes I get from you
can’t all be just a dream?
a fantasy role you play?
just to entertain?

Yours is the voice of wisdom
You’re like the beginning
and the end – bookends
Your knowledge is voluminous
and you write
and I read
and I’ve found
you’re exactly what I need
what I want
what I desire

I could never outsmart you
I could never outrun you
I could never outlast you
I could never get over or past you

Careful words of yours
from years ago
haunt my head today
sinister some did seem
and gave quite a chill
but wise and powerful
even still

So today I ask
Are you a soldier, a lover
a clown, or all three?
Several faces have you
and several have me

Is it just a way to smile
a distraction, a divertir moi?
These things have me perplexed
But still, I sense I could learn
from your intellect -
great things from you

So teach me what you will
for I will listen with glee
oh, how I anticipate learning
like a child waiting for Santa
on Christmas Eve . . .
