"Wisdom's Gate"

Boundaries are doors, controlled by me

Not forts, but gates to serenity

I say no with wisdom, not with spite

Protecting my mind, time, and energy's light

Desires abound, but few I pursue

For happiness lies in focus, not in chaos anew

Peace and joy, life's ultimate goal

Mundane achievements, just a part of the role

Respect to others, a key to my soul

What I give, returns in abundance whole

Authenticity, my unique design

Not replicable, just mine to shine

Dogma's chains, I cast aside

Open discussion, my heart's pride

Smile when I speak to those I adore

But wisdom guides my words, evermore

Let go of the past, its weight I release

Not the future, but the burdens that freeze

Life's hard enough, I seek comfort and peace

With those who make life feel like home, my heart's release

A calm mind, my guiding light

Accepting the past, present's confidence in sight

Facing the future, without fear's grasp

Wisdom's knowing when to let go, and why it lasts

Don't wait for tomorrow, joy's today's claim

Wisdom's gate, I open, and peace is my aim

George.
