Wisdom

Sweet son of sand...

of lion and of lamb...

of God and man...

thus would...

I paint you...

as gentle...

as a dove...

as seeing...

as a sage...

as secret...

as a soul...

knowing many things...

your heart singing...

though...

to sad to sing...

your sympathy...

convicted...

on a tree...

of feeling...

your poetry...

a mystery...

of love...

commended from...

the Christ...

who sent you...

then beside...

your very stone...

you linger for...

the last of them...

waiting...

they are so blind...

though yet by...

words you wrote...

forever touched...

I love you so...

yet more...

than you...

may ever know...

dear one...
