a lone watch surveys
seeking very far ahead
a thick impenetrable haze
voids inordinately vast to detect
time immemorial set a face
candid, unjaded, perhaps ignorant
as distance drew near, the features
soul, heart, the mind, absent
and from the flesh of fool decayed
revealed a lesson, a teacher
most salient of points, like a blade
was not realized until the final hour
"do not cower, conceal and lie in wait
or one will never sprout, never flourish, never flower"
