[ The Muse(s) ] Wisdom And Blessings

      
For many years I sat      
under a banyan tree      
 
waiting      
 
for the mysteries of the Universe      
to avail themselves to me      
     
The only wisdom I gained      
from the entire experience was      
     
it was no mystery that I      
ended up covered in bird shit      
     
The only blessing I gained      
as a result of sitting there      
with sparrows shitting in my hair      
before flying away?      
     
You      
     
came along today      
offering an umbrella      
the pleasure of your company      
and encouragement      
to keep trying
