The Silent Man's Wisdom
Who can appreciate
the wisdom of the silent man
whose words I etch
into the narrow quarters of my soul?
Clearly I can see the path laid out,
described so vividly by his imagination.
Seeing the picture he drew,
I gaze into the moon.
What awesome depths await me?
I peer out onto the glassy plain.
I wonder what the man painted—
what did he see?
I can only try to comprehend his work;
my mind tries to expand
only to become more confused
than it was when I started.
Combine yourself,
release yourself from your tension,
and bring yourself some sense.
What is to become of this?
