Poet

Prince without a lineage
King without a throne

Master without servants
Lover of that unknown

Hearer of what’s unspoken
Seer of things divine

Lord among the jesters
Voice for all the mimes

Reason when excuses falter
Questioner when answers fail

Link between the seasons
First breath a baby wails

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)

Like Beija Flor, I stay on a branch of the time admiring clever poets and beautiful flowers in the unknown field. Near the river some girls sit keeping their legs in the water, troubling the courses of time. Sun is shining in your poem like in a mirror, while wind is playing with my thoughts, so I have to fly away above the flowers in high mood. A rare flower, this poet. Indeed, a rare soul flowering in the same field with scent of hope.
