Musings: Learning from the Best

There are names

That ring a bell

But there is a name

That makes the difference 

There are thoughts

That make us think

But there is a thought

That transforms the mind


There are people

That come and leave

But there is a person

That abides still


There are words

That fizzle with the wind

But there is a word

That sounds every time


There are places

That we like to tour

But there is a place

That is worthy habitat


There are trees

That yield juicy fruits

But there is a tree 

That breathes out life


There are books

That need revision

But there is a book

That is ever true


There are ideas

That win the game

But there is an idea

That creates the stage


There are stars

That shine at night

But there is a star

That rules every day


There are visions

That sound high and lofty

But there is a vision

That heals scaly eyes


There are mountains

That we like to conquer

But there is a mountain

That seeks to conquer us


There are kings

That reign to live

But there is a king

Who lives to reign
