From the mouth
Of the laughing monkey,
Comes wisdom
That makes the sage frown.
I am still;
And unlearning
All those twisted lessons.
Help me hear between the sounds.
I am no sage!

You are welcome only if you have a shadow.
Writing is being.
Being mad is serious business.
Being deep is mad business.

I really like the line: “I am still—and unlearning” very Buddha like wisdom. 🙂
Hehehe! Glad you follow. I got one King David of Psalms (A collection called the Bible) to credit though. I was exposed to his form of poetry a while back. Once in a while I switch to that mode.
Here, however, it’s about unlearning those false mindets, becoming a child again, so you can learn true uncorrupted wisdom. (I know someone else again, who talks like this.!)
Nice to host you, Charron.
