The TributeTo the legendary teacher I pay tribute

Uplifting revelry,
Over the black crows nasal
Calls;
Whose draped shadow,
contemplating...

The Final JourneyI know I’ve made a thousand journeys,
withstood the tests of time and foe
shed the dust and shouldered worries
struggled onward against the flow.
Unconforming, seldom bending
straight the path I ever took.
Challenge was my unending passion
contradiction I forsook.
I’ve...

Tribute For a Commendable SoulAll across these scattered shining isles,
Framed inside a bright clasp of sapphire sea,
A softly persuasive wind that so beguiles,
Reaching gently out, thusly prevails unto me.
And in that wind that so insistently blows...

Whiter than snows atop higher tors;
And with more troth dudes did kiss
Purer maidens for pleasanter bliss.

To have been of better-spun spark;
And bards of far...
