This old man
Still dreams
Of his yesterdays
And his tomorrows
His heart is filled with love
For all that has gone before
And all that is yet to be
His life has not been easy
Nor hard compared to some
His life is like his poetry
Rich and so fulfilling
He has seen the faces of the forest
Learned the courage of the wind
As he climbed where eagles fly
His truth is what he make it
He has known the silence
Of a waterfall morning
He leaves no words unsaid
He is the Keeper Of The Poetic Flame
A light in a world of darkness
