Elder, Wise One
Elder, wise one
Share with me
The knowledge of time
Of toil and tears,
Elder, wise one
Share with me
The joy of life
Your laugh lines fine
Etchings of past mirth,
Elder, wise one
Share with me
How to fly
How to breathe
When the world
Is fog and shadow,
Elder, wise one
Share with me
The wonders of life
Microscopic to macroscopic
From the beauty of a diatom
To the glory of a sunset
From the mysteries of thought
To the brilliance of lightning
The eternal wonders of the universe.
