The Yoin

He wasn’t that much of a man
Never achieved all that much,
Just a regular Joe.
Worked with his hands,
Dreamed with his heart.

When he picked up a pen
And wrote his words, he was magic.
His insight was beyond normal.
He saw the spaces between life
And knew how to give their gift to you.

I saw him struggle
I watched him fall.
I never saw him quit.

His words were glue to my soul.

And so it is...I would say a tad more extraordinary than you remember.
Nice to see you writing again.
