Man of words, words of Man

I searched for the wisest man across the land

I reached the farthest side of my country

only to find out he resides in a book

Though he's just words,

I could see him sitting

Content, because he knows how to live life

So I asked,

"How do I heal?"

A peaceful pause before he answered,

"You can't hold on to what you never had;

Let go."
