A Greater Wisdom Poem by shweta advani

A Greater Wisdom

Rating: 5.0


I cannot and I dare not
venture out into the dark alone...
I need a hand to guard and guide
A greater wisdom than my own...

I need a shepherd
who knows the traps n pitfalls on the way
One whom I can trust to lead me safely
home by night and day.

One who sees the secret snare
and walks ahead the path to show.

Alone I stray and lose my way.
Alone I know not where to go...
I cannot and I dare not
venture out into the dark alone...

Thanks for the comment Shweta, your poem is well expressed too! We all need a greater wisdom, a guiding hand- a soul mate?

Stupidity is not that distant away from daredevilness...when we step out in 'dark', as you said and said well, we always 'need a hand to guard and guide'...good meaningful write, Shweta..10.

this is a really great poem! .. the only thing i would say is the spelling of 'the'.. the 'd' kind of throws the poem off... but the poem itself is amazing.10++

This is the earlier stage in the path of attaining wisdom.........all seekers of knowledge go through. But realizing that we need a Guru itself shows that the person has already reached the path...............What happens in the penultimate stage...........if u so wish........you may read my poem JEEVANMUKTHA. Very good poem........in fact more than a poem......wisdom
