I am Weary of my Wisdom

1collage

I am weary of my wisdom
Like the bee that hath gathered too much honey
Lots of laughter and weeping in my album
The quilt of life is growing with glee

Nothing can shock me as I’ve seen them all
There are still spices that give me some lift
Perhaps I just need to wrap myself with a shawl
Having my wits around is definitely a gift

The songs of the birds still amaze me
The twinkles of the stars are wonderful
I still enjoy having a nice cup of tea
Really grateful that I’m still able

  1. you’ve turned the collage into a shawl of wisdom for life’s simple pleasures but given it that one line that does not permit complacency : “There are still spices that give me some lift”
