the road not taken
subtle trains in the veins
the apple eaten on the edge of aftermath
where there was only absence behind the book
humanity in all fiction whispers ask not
the mark of life is but a match of somber grace
words on the matter
all hard scribbles much too daintily noted
old Will understood the harshness in the world
as he understood the soul saving value of
the love
and just as so
this night continues to court
my very own idea of Avalon
many kudos handed to you who
understand the compressed power
of poetry through the soul's will
verses the majesty of the mere mind's might
all blended knowledge
'From Hence We Came'...........
