The Honorable Man

He sits there, so comfortably, in his chosen pathway of truth and reality

This man, before me, is well nourished on the fruits of the physical world, the place time passes honestly

But, before my very eyes, I see he is struggling

He has sensed the potential that this woman and he can possess

But she is yet to join him, and yet to have the same premonition.

 

Should your hope dwindle, remember this

Hold on to that air between your finger and thumb,

No, it is not lifeless, it is not dead air,

It is not a vacuum for breath and life like the world we both still honour.

Remember that despite such brief encountering, we have been kindred spirits for an eternity.

Make proper use of this once beautiful connection,

Allow me, whenever you feel doubt, to do what will forever be our strength

Let me hope for you.
