Wisdom’s Keys
Be curious.
Study hard.
Learn all you can.
Build spires
and domes
from bricks you fire
to house your knowledge.
If you’re lucky,
the tome-tiered corridors
will ring empty at striving’s end
and the seeking
there all along
will stretch full length.
It will say,
“Be done
with what others know.”
It will call you
to follow your arc
from light
to dark
and back,
gathering keys
along the way
to doors that open
only for you.
