Being Wise And Love Isn't Easy

Being Wise and love isn't an easy journey.

To be wise is no simple task,

To be discerning, intellect vast,

To be love personified, unsurpassed.

To be wise is a solemn duty,

A preparation for selfless beauty.

To be wise is more than a blessing,

To comprehend always, in your addressing.

To relinquish yourself, both near and far,

To learn for yourself and for others' star.

To remain vigilant, in your direction,

To nurture yourself and their affection.

To bear the responsibility of your actions,

And theirs, with unwavering convictions.

To become wise each time, wounds endure,

Awakening profound pain, so pure.

All slumber, lost and unknown,

Unaware of their deeds, words, and where they've flown.

Here, none can rest with closed eyes,

Denying serene repose, a fleeting prize.

To suffer oppression is a pain profound,

But preparing not to be oppressed, also astound.

When lost, become your own guiding light,

For yourself and others, shine so bright.

Endure pain first, your own to bear,

Then theirs, with empathy, show you care.

Yet, no foundation for complaints shall arise,

From the agony of exploitation or pity's ties.

Pain of torment, then pain of compassion,

Inevitable, on oneself and them, a shared reaction.

To witness their suffering, alone and apart,

While not becoming a part of their annual start.

To evade becoming their guiding light,

Yet witnessing their yearning, a helpless sight.

Just keep moving, stay awake all along,

For being wise is a responsibility strong.

A preparation for a sacrifice profound,

Being wise is not just a gift to be found.

It alters the colors of destiny's hue,

Understanding always, from you to them, too.

However,

This process or journey, you see,

Will make you sharper, purer, and more free,

If you hold patience and faith in life's art,

Embrace the process with a devoted heart.

But in the end, you shall comprehend,

Wisdom - discernment - a blessing, my friend,

Its essence, limitless and grand,

An eternal elixir, forever at hand.
