Wisdom Beneath The Tree
La sagesse sous l'arbre Wisdom Beneath The Tree The village School lay silent, rent and bare; Its broken walls gave teachers cause to cease. "The house must rise," they sighed, "ere lessons fare;" Thus learning slept, awaiting brick and peace. One kindly Soul assembled every Child Under an ancient Maple with spreading shade; The whispering winds blew cool, serene and mild, While birds their cheerful morning anthem played. The emerald grass became the woven floor, The rugged trunk the faithful teacher's board; The boundless sky became the roof once more, Flowers breathed fragrance where the children soared. For wisdom needs no a palace built by Men, And a loving heart can found a School again. ________________________ ---Poet Affaq #ForeverSonnets #ArtistPoet Affaq #MysticalPoetry
