I like this poem. I like the flow and content. It was well written and very well done. The accompanying artwork was nicely done and spot on. Thank you for sharing this. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Good

Beautiful poem. It had an excellent flow and message to it. The metaphor you used for the gate was very thoughtful. I can only wish I possessed such a craft for words.

Well said. I hear you in a poetic way that can only be understood in the realm of spirituality. I love to write about and to the God of our inner most thoughts and our being. Wisdom comes from deep within and God is the author and finisher. Bless you.

Vance,

If there's a gateway to wisdom, I need to find it and run through it as fast as my little legs can carry me. hahahahaha! My family and friends would tell you that I need all the help I can get. *smile*

Thanks!

Thanks robyn, for your fun loving review! But let me suggest...you don't run those little legs off but rather....if you really want that wisdom.....please read the last part of what's behind the gate, about five times with deep sincerity, and SHAZAM!!! YOU WILL BE FACE TO FACE WITH WISDOM ITSELF...then the only thing left to do is smile and shake hands! with yourself and oh yeah....send me an email ..... vls@market-karma.com and let me know how that all worked out for you! Blessings and love.....Vance

If there was one thing I would really want more than anything, it would be to find the garden of wisdom. Once there I would open the gate and know the truth of God is in this garden. Patricia

Thank you so much patcelaw, for your lovely review and stars! I do hope that my definition of what is behind that gate is totally true and that it is available to anyone through sincere prayer. Blessings to you always! HIS GRAYNESS; Vance

Wisdom
Posted: Oct 12, 2013 01:00 am
Out of the refiner's fire comes the gift of wisdom, if you want it. And, my, don't we need the wisdom of God to simply make meaning out of life these days? If you want the gift of wisdom, ask God for the gift, and then co-operate with God in the life you are being given.
Wisdom and Love


Knowing this poem is coming from you (Vance)Out of your poetic mind
fire comes the gift of wisdom;
we desire the wisdom---
we need the wisdom of God to simply make meaning out of life these days. If you want the gift of wisdom, ask God for the gift, and then co-operate with God in the life you are being given.

Nicely said my friend. Where we go, has to be believed a calmer place, a place of peace, a place of reflection. When the time comes we will know. I wish that all becomes as you wish.
My very best wishes old friend.
