Known as equals

Wisdom -& kindness vs intelligence

Dripping unto pools
of icy cold summer
frozen lakes crest
kissing windswept mountains
willows weep
secrets sleep
And all that forms moisture
sinking in

~as we dry, crack and weather~
 
What blows cold
with harsh or gentle winds
are delivered by knowing hand
fist or delicate digit
crawls upon four
first obtaining
that which you know
carried knowledge

~intelligence is not wisdom~

Warm glows of a morning sun
shine down
kissing, one by one
in knowing these rays
full effect
give proper light
to given subjects
where wisdom kneels with kindness

~Balanced on an unforgiving world~

Even a genius could be not wise in so many things of life or different fields for wisdom is the ability for discernment or insights of things with the right choices and it is not necessarily analytical for it can deal with people and situations . Bottom line wisdom is a blending of so many factors to achieve a desired effect or a movement in the right direction...A very good poem , sir...:)

"Intelligence is not wisdom"...wow, you said a mouthful there. No amount of intelligence can replace an ounce of wisdom, can it? The world can certainly be unforgiving and those who are not wise do not know how to deal with it all. Unfortunately, that is when things escalate and one bad deed creates four others. I liked the metaphor here. Thought provoking and unique.....good work! Lydi**
