Trinity
Wisdom, I think, is made of these
Three discoveries.
First, the raw incredible ache
Of a new heartbreak.
Bitter this – but bitterer far
Learning how brief all heartbreaks are,
When the hurt heals over and leaves no scar.
And last, that love full-feasted even
Is somewhat short of utter heaven.
Wisdom is wrought of these
Three certainties.
– Ted Olson (1927)
