Wisdom

Wisdom

P K Routray

To be wise on wisdom

peeped in an urge from heart’s bottom.

Is knowledge, intellect as its companion

with their appropriate timely application

wisdom’s proper and perfect definition?

Unclear was my conception and perception.

Approached I a Master Monk to enlighten me

querring him, in wisdom what does he see?

“Live as if you are going to die the next moment”

was his  reply clarifying wisdom at the instant.

My reflection on this statement needs collaborations

to the statement I seek readers’ valued interpretations.
