#magistrate
Firm collar
White as snow
Crisp and with an edge like steel
Cutting, not cold
Unblemished is he?
No
Considered rough,
Perhaps
Although in a certain way, he walks
Straight past his friends and his foes
Not aimlessly though
For where poise meets focus
There is also dignity
And a calming aura to be found
Amidst the calamity
With a hint of conflict
Though he speaks
His words are bound
To fairness and justice
To the law and to love
And though he spoke once
Not arrogantly
This is the sound of a constant man
Who is capable of change, and yet, is found
In a pattern which drowns out the breeze
Like the whippoorwill that’s lost its tree
By this you'll know, that you've seen
And crossed the path of a pensive man
Intent on this, to understand
Her
Him
And all around
