Wisdom

Katie B.

 

Wisdom churns in the belly of the fortuitous few

Earned on the backstrap of humanity

 

Achieved through years of trials

Aging imposes

 

Judiciously earned

Experiences harsh teacher

 

Unfolding

From brokenness, suffering

 

The wise are sought

Entrusted

 

Wisdom wears modesty

It doesn’t flaunt

 

What could we be

If we all wore wisdom

 

Like a badge

An honor
