Wisdom's Soothing Oil

Wisdom’s Soothing Oil

©2014, Olan L. Smith

Within this domain she discovered my life dark and dreary,

A lackluster lifetime spent unanointed and fruitless;

My futile attempts to comprehend collective context

Was without confidence, for I was deprived―

I lacked wisdom until she touched me and said, “Awaken,

Arouse, for you have slept too long, forthwith is discernment,

Insight is at your door…uncover, restore and rejoice in it,

Be delighted for I upend your world from decline to merit.

Build afresh your understanding and know we are one,

United forever in a universe that is ours.”   A million lifespans

Come and go, and the memories of each is lost in what was;

Sophia is Restorer―she soothes, and makes all things new.
