Live a poetic existence. Take responsibility for the air you breathe and never forget that the highest appreciation is not to just utter words, but to live them compassionately.

To the Prisoner of Capra Lake

Winged spirit, how far from hell’s wind
do you sleep hath with such virtuous grin?
A thousand truths that your falsehood know
would never infect that very wind that blows.

Those who are older than we –
Of many who are wiser than we –
I would try; try not to release
you for who my dreams are relying
on a spell of art still prudently dying.

Bring that bright snake coiling
with a hissing so annoying
To come down and see:
Our fate still hovering, covering
that bird the lover till he sinks- like me.
