L'Nass!!

Seeing that deep rooted tree founded in soils rich and boldly painful Lay praise to worthy and spite to shameful ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Old souls spiral in his words like scrolls unfurling over cliffs ancestors hardships ingrained in phrasing Reminding, remembering, rejoicing...rebuking That which you might not say sprays from every line Never just in saying his piece but asking yours...provoking that warrior we forget our place in days of complacency padding around like finicky kittens his urge is your roar and uprise a write is but musings of our mind unless it encourages yours I've urged his rain to fall as I will bring mine to amass as should we all ...to flood and conquer the settling of soil into stubborn unthinking sediment ~~~~A Tribute to a poet who inspires my mind and provokes my thoughts...L'Nass Shango Bring The Rain!!!!!

Great tribute to one of the Soup's most prolific and terrific writers, Steve! Shango's work is always filled with great emotion and substance. Indeed, he is one who can "Bring the Rain." Excellent work, Steve. Love, Carolyn
