Flow of Knowledge

July 15, 2013

 

The flow of knowledge,

 

Like that to a river

 

Streams through my mind,

 

As quickly as an arrow drawn from its quiver.

 

I lie upon the green sweet grasses,

 

Watching as time slowly passes.

 

My thoughts engage in constant battle,

 

Tossing my head like a toddler rattle.

 

Experiences learned and obtained anew,

 

Allow me to focus at the wonderful view.

 

The hot star up in the orange sky,

 

Begins to set, while I lie.

 

I think for a moment, and wonder why?

 

The things I’ve learned have flown right by.

 

Yellow diamonds in the night,

 

Light the darkness to obtain some sight.

 

They shine my way to a better tomorrow,

 

One filled with knowledge, not with sorrow.

 

I see my future, a successful one;

 

To know I’m finished, yet have just begun.
