What is wisdom?

Telling lies

That's subjective

Telling the truth

That's objective

Telling stories

That's experiential

Sharing feelings

That's going deep

Sharing ideas

That's mental

Giving advice

That could be misguided

Giving a suggestion

That's nice

Listening to a friend

That's generous

Helping in action

That's kind

Wearing a bona fide smile

That's true

Wearing a frown

That might be the false you

Acknowledging the shadow

That's courage

No longer blaming

That's admirable

Laughing heartily

That feels good

Knowing to do it more

That's wisdom

*

Wisdom serves and teaches.

Wisdom lives in the niches

of caves blanketed in silence.

It hears you -

Always listening.

Communicating with subtlety

so you don't flee in fear.

Softly and ever so light -

Does wisdom attune with its host.
