Who is to say-
old age is wisdom?
rather it's an
unknown kingdom.
The older I get
the less I know for sure
life is a mysterious continent
to live is to struggle, to explore and to endure.
Certitude, what certitude?
wisdom, what wisdom?
human intelligence is finite
the mind that's fixed on certitude is serfdom.
In the beginning nothing I knew
and at the end--still nothing
nay, old age is doubts and the
beginning of learning.
