Seeds of Wisdom

Carpe Diem #1303 Seed of Wisdom

With them the seed of Wisdom did I sow,
And with mine own hand wrought to make it grow;
And this was all the Harvest that I reap’d–
“I came like Water, and like Wind I go.” 

© Omar Khayyam (Tr. FitzGerald)

moonflower blossoms
in the shadows of night
spilling her beauty
with day’s ascent she withers
returning from whence she came
