They say Wisdom lies on the street somewhere,
With no permanent place to place his wise head.
I have searched for him, yet no luck,
Each time I catch his trail,
I arrive to hear that he moved again.
If I run fast enough,
Maybe I would catch up
On this trail of wisdom which I have followed so far.
I have picked up one major thing:
That all my previous steps were foolish.
But I cannot retrace my steps, lest I lose great Wisdom.
I can only hurry, and hope that my next steps are less foolish than the last.
So, on Wisdom's winding trail I continue to follow;
Every step further would still be foolish, I suspect,
But they will all be worth it,
When, finally, I catch up with him.
About the Poet: Tomisona is an amazing writer who aims create pieces of literature that distill ideas to their simplest, most honest form.
A Note from the Poet: The secret to life is to do faster...win, fail, try again, fall, get up, learn. Do it fast enough so you can catch up to wisdom.
