Insight

Queen Rhonda J. Foster shares . . .


Lateral thinking
is a nimbleness,
Lateral thinking
is a mental tool.
Options fly before me
like typeface on a page,
Characters scroll by on computer screen,
Seconds clicking on a watch
I will not wear.
All the cerebral flexion,
movement,
highbrow gymnastics,
Running the maze of the Riddle of Being,
Finding the way of wisdom,
Has still left me stuck
in the middle of life.
The collected scholarship of the world
does not equal
one moment of insight
by the heart.
