The traveler makes song By aldo kraas, www.PoetryPoem.com/poet11586 Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime
the traveler makes song
heard many places
ending as a tree
disappearing
into low livingcloud.
he knows our
uncertainty, clothed
in the vaingold authority
of hard men, bent as the tree
and harder yet to please.
i have dined with the traveler
many times. at opulent table
sitting foreign and small,
in the bowels of the wood where his
song rang the sweetest,
in the tempest of a kitchen
table, a sudden swift storm.
i struggle with the lyric
to his song, sovast, so simple.
in language sharp and clean,
that speaks to us this one true
thing;
love only the you and the i
and that which is above all else.
