The Portent of Self Discovery

By Soulseeker

Whispering willows drench my ears
the flow, the form cascades down my skin.
Bent in bewilderment, caught in a trap;
a window of opportunity taps my back.
Catch the untouchable,
yearn the unlearned,
see with your heart,
embrace the burn,
surpass "great leaders",
discover for yourself,
always cogitate the help.
Whispering willow hold my wisdom,
for now I seek a tangible prism.
