Thoughts of the wise

Power is a vein concept,
when mortals seek to control.
Power in materialistic gain,
shall bring with it, a heavy toll.

Love is a virtuous dream,
one may seek, and could acquire.
Love is not promised, however,
at least at the mortal spire.

Hope is a passive wonder,
while faith is an affirmation.
Hope is an auspicious ghost,
a great wish of aspiration.

Truth is a relieving ideal,
and is not always excepted.
Truth is prevailing and real,
and is not an idea erected.

Time is a measure of existence,
which is not always accounted.
Time is the ultimate persistence,
it will not be bought nor surmounted.
