Gratuitous Wisdom
Hidden in a pocket
of wildflowers blooming.
A poem
like a gift.
A basket of fruit
that rots if not eaten.
The line on her eye
drawn as a road,
dark asphalt that melts
in the sun,
or a pathway of light
for solving a riddle.
It can stir up
a Maelstrom
while ignorance
paints it's own face.
A blue
that buzzes with bees.
The honey in the heart
of a lion.
Small drops from heaven
as rain for the flowers.
Gratuitous- unwarranted, unnecessary, unprovoked, beyond what is required.
Wisdom- sound judgement, application of good intelligence, common sense.
