What Souls Hope To Find

An abundance of denial,

  your mind turns away

What spirit embraces,

  choice hides and delays

 

        “The dignity of the old man

           in worn tattered clothes 

         Frayed pants covering high

           button shoes, but not toes

 

       “He wanders among us

           just over the line

        As eyes fail to see

          what souls hope to find”

       

An elegance to rival

  your white tie and tails

Where life now stripped free

  of false richness—prevails

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
