What Separateness Brings


Separateness brings fear.
Fear brings suffering.
Suffering brings guilt.
Guilt brings pain.
Pain brings wisdom.

Ghosts

No longer are they here
Shadows of the mind
Who gave without a care
Who could be that kind

Portals to the past
Have permanently shut
Both parents have now passed
All ties have now been cut

Why suffer such disgrace
Alone without a friend
Where poems leave no trace
And even questions end

True wisdom ascertains
Ways for stopping pains

While there should be no question that pain can beget wisdom, other things can beget wisdom too. : )
