Gnawing at the Tree

Tenaciously I gnaw at the tree of knowledge.
The bark becomes brittle to the touch.
For what is knowledge without application?

Swinging from its branches, I’m encased in wonderment.
I fly from its grasp and land abruptly.
For what is knowledge without perspective?

Looking up, I watch its leaves turn.
From newborn green to elderly brown.
For what is knowledge without flexibility of new understanding?
