New poem: "The Well of Lost Wisdom"

 

The Well of Lost Wisdom

 

I drank freely from the well

of lost wisdom, and I became wise

beyond my years; but the world

took me for a fool, and I took

to writing poetry. Now I can share

my wisdom without sharing it, like

Emily Dickinson; and no one is

the wiser for the water of living

life that I keep drinking from

the well of lost wisdom.
