The Gateway

Poem Commentary

Wisdom has many children and all share the virtue of birth.

The Gateway

The ethereal wall
Has been punctured,
After firm pressure
Has been placed
On the portal’s
Clear amniotic sac.
The birth of wisdom
Has been given wings
And angles upward,
After its first
Gasping breath
Past the gateway
