The Wisdom of Elders
















Sunlight advances like
 dust on a sunbeam,
 linear and purposeful.

 Nature is only
 an approximation.

 How often does one
 apply meaning to the
 clichéd  chrysalis
 bursting forth new life
after a brutal winter?

 Solomon does not
 corner the market on
 ennui.

 What is new under the sun
she says is, in fact,
multitudinous and magnificent.

 Passivity is a cloud
 rendering passion
 quadraplegic.

So she tells the story,
tracing the map with her
gnarled fingers,

Leading us to a place, where
even De Leon could find
his fountain in the desert.
