Mathieu Hotte - Words of Time

Substance of existence,
a breath defined,
birth of wisdom,
words of time.

Places and faces, the listening crowd
swallow the words,
so profound.

Conflict, we learn
compromise, we progress
through experience,
we find ourselves.

Talking, teaching, showing the youth
the conflict, the compromise
the impeccable truth.

Word of wisdom,
words of time,
substance of existence,
a new breath defined.

Mathieu Hotte
