Becoming a Tailor
Woven in the fabric of life
There is a thread that runs through us all
Sturdy as it may appear
It frays at deferent times and places
The cloth sheds a single strand
The fiber of its individuality
But the sheath of the cloth that shed
Is said to have departed,
Leaving a hole in the fabric
To be stitched and mended
By the tailor in all of us

Two Poems that made one
I write and tried to find words
To penetrate a restless soul
Who has lost battle to the earthly world
That decimated his body
Blinded by a deep dark seed growing inside
Camouflaged by the burning desire outside
But we only saw:
An innovator
An artist who farms
Who harvests fruits
Who molds in wood,
Ideas into realities
Who conquered a bay by riding its air
Always trying to out run the wind
And we envy,
No,
Respect this man
No,
Adore
Now left behind to ponder our own destinies
We rummage, through fate's drawers

Last of the Mohicans
Hunter
Gatherer
Warrior chief
Two sons
Three daughters
A loving wife
The Sailor
Our Captain
Carpenter
From youth
A leader
A looker
A seeker
Of truth
A magnet
With bear paws
A giant
With heart
Makes up This Man
Of many parts
