Poet
Prince without a lineage
King without a throne
Master without servants
Lover of that unknown
Hearer of what’s unspoken
Seer of things divine
Lord among the jesters
Voice for all the mimes
Reason when excuses falter
Questioner when answers fail
Link between the seasons
First breath a baby wails
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
