The Wonder of Leo Wright

I read the words of a man And I wondered... Of the life he led And the things he said And of what he might have said to me If our two paths had crossed How can such profoundness and genius Live on in a single human being? What a truly gifted man he must have been What a privilege it would have been to know him I read the words of a man And I wondered... If he were here today Sitting in his scarlet chair Would he still put pen to paper? And mystify us with his words Not knowing the great affect they have on those who love him most And would he share his wisdom With those who he knew would use it wisely? Or would his secrets remain to be discovered in his cryptic words? Words of truth and brilliance Words of a legend ... ...I wonder.
