Wish to ward off woes

True wisdom wards off woes, a circling fortress high
For human`s eager foes, remain unshaken and will defy
Makes mind to restrain and not suffer to wander where it would
Calls it back from evil and guides in way of good
Diverse things from divers sages are there to learn
It`s the wisdom`s part in each, we should discern
With a lucid speech, words of acceptance win
Subtle things of others discourse are things to take in
Embrace the world frankly, to caprice remain opposed
Unlike the lotus, flowers wide opened, but petals strictly closed
If world be such, so with the world to dwell
Find harmony? – prove your wise and be well
With wisdom, you discern, but the foolish fail to see
Wise minds prepare for things about to be
It`s folly to meet fearful things with fearless heart
But to fear, if cause of fear exists, is wisdom`s part
Be wise with watchful soul for coming ills to foresee
Evil`s dreaded shock! Having forecasted you remain free
You are wise! you are rich with every blessing blest
If you remain foolish, you are poor of everything possessed

Thought I would read a bit of your poetry-
There is truth behind these words-
The only thing that wisdom cannot ward off is love-
Theree is no insight or foresight where love is concerned... |
