Beautiful Wisdom

I would like beautiful language.

Please share lessons of wisdom, things that might make people want to quote you.

If you can combine beautiful language with deep wisdom, you're on track with this contest. 

No more than 12 lines is preferred, but not necessary...if the flow is powerful and the beautiful wisdom is moving you to write more, I'll not disqualify the poem. 

Any topic is OK.  I enjoy philosophy and am Existentialist.  If you wax philosophical, that's great.  Bottom line, beautiful language & wisdom is key.

Second and third place prizes provided, no less than 125 for second and no less than 75 for third.

Thank you.

    Wow! My first Trophy! I hadn't even realized this contest was over or that my poem had placed until I saw that my points had jumped so high. Then I had to investigate to see where they came from! Thank you, Enigma Tic, and I am humbled that you chose my poem amongst so many great ones!

    This seems like it would have been a hard contest to judge.
