Mindful Wisdom Poem by David Wood

Mindful Wisdom

Rating: 5.0


A rampaging mind
Knows no wisdom
And its tongue is
A senseless babble

Only the fool wags their tongue
And speaks evil of others
Their lips condemn them
For they cannot remain silent

The wise keep their tongues
From speaking evil
And their lips from lying words
They hold their silence and wait

A sign of wisdom is a controlled mind
And patience is her sister
Those who can control their mind
Are on the path that leads to wisdom
