Verses on wisdom

Wise among us is he
who sings joyously of life and its promises.

Wiser among us is he
who has seen the valley of desolation
and yet has risen from it
singing of hope.

Wisest among us is he
who sits deep in the valley of
desolation, amid Sorrow,
and sings life's song
to Sorrow itself,
so that there too can be joy
in the heart of Sorrow.
