Wisdom Cascade

Wisdom is better than rubies and pearls

Seek wisdom as you would silver

How much better to get wisom than gold

Deep respect of the divine is the source of wisdom

Exploring knowledge caverns I had found a few lumps

Tears of repentance washed off the dust revealing a glint

Wisdom is better than rubies and pearls 

When the full moon turns I learn

I've got a hairy side and need to shoot it down

Seek wisdom as you would silver

I was burning melting and drowning 

I discovered my impurities and began to shine

How much better to get wisdom than gold

I nearly sunk in the murky water of philosophy

God's well of truth bubbles up clear and pure

Deep respect of the divine is the source of wisdom

(This is a Cascade form poem. The first lines of the 1st stanza are from the bible)
