Enlightenment

To watch
the sparkle
in the eye
of a child
upon realization
that higher plane
that existed
uniquely
is inhabited
by like-minded
souls
speaking common
novel language
that fascinates:
potential
thus converted
to kinetic
activity,
such acumen
need be
accompanied
by sheepskin,
as increments
in rate of
learning
are neither
diminished
by age
nor time
