My Brother's Keeper

He listened to The Master
Voiced not his woes
Reply was sombre, pensive
"I know the time is close"
Eyes view within...
Then...

"Love, I had more in life than most."

When The Master summoned
He breathed deeply then slipped away
Though there were those
Who begged him not to listen...

Yes, this keeper knows
