Listen to the breath of ageless wisdom,
coming from your elder's creased lips.

Feel the whispered strokes of love
from passion's partner in crime

Taste the nectar of the Gods
on your thirsty quest for knowledge.

See and seize the memories
in wrinkled frozen photos.

Smell the sweetness of success
when you write upon the page.

Great Stuff !!!!!!!!. Wisdom aquired through the senses(experience)is the only way. It took me much too long to discover that.
