POETRY OF HIS LIFE

Born on the tough side of hollow earth 
Raised in blood, bone, sweat, tears and dirt 
Toiled through the grace of emptiness 
Taught in the cradle of nothingness 

Braved the tides of looming fountains 
Dared the storms to climb his mountains 
Through ups, downs and rough plains, he grew 
For the sweet saps of his will to brew
