Elixir of Wisdom

Elixir of Wisdom

A Poem by Ayanda Mteto
"

everything we need is in us.

"

The central emotion teaches laws of the divine

Unspoken truth lost to ignorant fools

Tasting sin sweet as honey in a morning tea

We drink quenching our arid desire

Blowing dust in the storm of turmoil

 

Man has never understood the reason he breathes

Helpless in despair astray in his steps

Completely unaware of the origin

His roots that unmask his godly power

He believes is trapped in the inferior polemic of his mind

 

Are we not still alive when we are dead?

Or are we so lost to premise of death

That we forget the preluded virtues of life?

Death bring change not the end we are benighted

The corners of its mystery are without end

Holds in wonder a travel in search for truth

 

Our mind is a vessel of God that holds waters of life

As we drink we learn secrets of wisdom

How she teaches her young knowledge of the divine

Oracles she scribe in our spirit

How we reflect him in waters of wisdom

The elixir of his truth.
