Learning.
Crucial to living is finding taste
for amazement at tinies,
thirst for greats and sheer wonder
at merely being alive.
Drink in these delights but first
stop at life's edge to see
complexity woven with humour
to make humans smile.
Feel how an Invisible Joy still
presses juice into fruit,
rain thru cloud and song in bird,
be awed by useage of time.
Sway to life's rhythmic motion
and as birth sweeps clean
previous death begin to realize
how grandeur survives.
Only then shall you know who
you really are, say
all the sages and holy books on
learning how to be wise.

A fine and wise write Fay.
This is quite a subject. I have known someone who was instinctively wise and of little learning - how do you judge - I am not wise enough to answer that one. Lol Yet another super work from the pen of Fay.
Thank you FAY: Angela here and Im 30 so Im still learning! V1. Enjoying being alive V2. Drinking in the delights! V3. Feeling the Invisible Joy V4. Swaying to lifes rhythm V5. Finding out who I really am? This is a challenging poem for me FAY : Im 30+ but still so much to learn and i have missed Brian so so much. I am sure the next two weeks will be a steeper Learning Curve. Thanks for sharin such a meaningful POEM : Love ANGELA XXXX
My Dear Poetess Fay,
An extraordinary write!
All five stanzas are superb.
I was especially attracted to the fourth one.
Each of your writings get better and better.
You are truly a gifted writer!
