The light of Knowledge

The lofty mountain taught me sublimity,
The crashing waves of ocean, humility;
The dark woods taught me serenity.

In the aftermath of deluge, I found hope
The tremors of quake, taught me to grope
The tempestuous storm made me scream Nope!

The dying soldier teaches temerity,
The blazing horizon teaches eternity,
The church bell rings divinity.

The newborn child brings in purity,
The careless surrounding speak of levity,
Yet the rising sun testifies humanity.
