I did not know what I wanted
Not like Solomon
So when asked I said nothing
Hoping silence would say it all
Sometimes wisdom is found
In unexpected places
When we are not even looking for it
But need it anyway
It waits in the shadows
Waiting to grow up
Waiting till we do
Waiting till we will know what to do with it when finally our paths meet
Waiting quietly to be pointed out
By someone older
Wiser
Who has been that way before
