“(Fight) To Learn” ~A Poem~

November 14, 2017
Learning
Is like shining a lamp
In the dark holes of the blind eye.
It is a refreshing realization,
A caught breath after stumbling
and struggling to find
Clean air.
It is epiphany
and enlightenment;
Vibrance after blindness.
Wipe away the smoke
from your lense.
Learn
And let it in:
Don’t fight it
anymore,
Fight for it.
The mind is such a lovely garden—
Worth harvesting—
A product
of what you (choose to) feed it.
Nourish it with seed
Or litter;
But it if feed it litter,
Don’t expect flowers to grow.
Cherish the beauty of the mind,
And appreciate the wonders of your hands.
There may be seas of opportunity
Among our parched earth,
But you are only fully quenched
Until
You allow yourself to swim in its vastness.
Knowledge is an immense,
double-edged
Gift.
-Clarity
You’d think
Most would like
Being able to see.
