Mere Knowledge Is Not Enlightenment

Mere knowledge is not enlightenment.
The light of wisdom is acquired
when the mind begins to see
beyond what is shown to us.

Knowledge gives enlightenment to our minds.

The light is buried deep inside the lines and pages.

Within these pages
Lies the power
To light up your mind.

Books are illumination in the darkness of ignorance

Even the parched pages

of many lost thought
Illuminates my mind to tread

on its own blazing plot.
To succeed in life,

forget all the rules

& all its accord
For life is always connected

to wisdom via an umbilical cord.

Karen Macleod

Enlightened
words and phrases
that command a
second look,
are so bright
they burn a hole in
the seat of your soul
and luminate
a bookmark place
where you will find
all the lost words,
are now burned
into your mind.

And as my eyes beheld the words on the page,
it was as if my entire reality changed.
Like a light switched on,
revealing what I could not see,
I found I had awoken from a lifetime of sleep.
