A Token For The Master


Boiling away the edges

letting the core expand

Limitations drifting free

clarity at hand

 

Horizon coming at me

sky and earth as one

Sunsets in my memory

answers on the run

 

A token for the master

a pittance bye and bye

Value placed in what is not

scientists decry

 

My width and breadth immortal

the universe set free

To roam forever in my heart

—your eyes too blind to see

 

(Saint David’s Pennsylvania: May, 2022)
