Oh Wise One ..

I searched for you
Oh wise one
You taught me lessons
When I really knew none

I fought long and hard
To be under your tutelage
Months and months
of creative planage

Devising a way
Through the stars
I found a green light
Knew the future was ours

Oh wise one
Will you teach me some more
I am ready to graduate
On to even more

hanging on
You’re every word
Though at times
They seem absurd

I know in my heart
I learn from thee
But it’s the togetherness
That is the trunk of the tree

Make me strong
Make me wise
I want to grow old
By your side
