Learning from things

By the book I am taught

Of the tree.
By the tree I am taught

Of the bird.
By the bird I am taught

Of the fish.
By the fish I am taught

Of the pond.
By the pond I am taught

Of the moon.
By the moon I am taught

Of the night.
By the night I am taught

Of silence.
By silence I am taught

In silence
