A Man of Silence

within acoustic shadow invisible to the world a man of Silence
hostiles shudder of his life's strength , figurative mind wealth 
sentiment beneath his fingers touch flourish draped in dreams

1/5/2020

I had to write this after the contest without his knowledge. 

   This poem was written in tribute to Silent One. A man who sees beauty in everything. He articulates his poetry with imagery, deep emotions within him. I am very proud to know him not only as a poet, but as a friend, a brother, a son.  He has been there through my deep hurt and enjoyable times of life the past 4 years. Thank you Silent One.
