Straining with hopeful eyes
Listening with open ears
Seeking trails of disrupted leaves
Amid winter elements - one can exist bitterly
Abandoned amongst untrustworthy trees
Bard of the park
Possessor of tattered robes and dreams
Strong - the stench of wine
Weak - the sense to be
Even in hopeless places
Words of genius seem to stream
How I seek my kindred father
Still, too many sighs plaguing me
No sign of my Bard
He's off to another way home

I knew a poet like this, Moni. He had a home for a time, and access to a computer. He said that folks like him were never meant to meet people like me. His words were pure, untainted by the everyday world.

Thanks for reminding me of him with this lovely write!
