When words
Confer
They do such
Things
To prime
The mind
So much do bring
The three
That oft
Ponder wake
In Relevance
Will fore sake
Ear to hear
Encompassing
Hearing sounds
Thundering
Like Waves that wake
The vessel’s Fate
Relate
Partake
Oh soul carnate
And sail
Sail
Abound those lost
There found
Help ground
Their ware
They’re tossed
Is
Fair indeed
Is
Fare in deed
Truth and Love
A rarity
Truth and Love
In Charity
~your poet~
Raleigh-Durham’s “Your poet” crafted one of my all time favorite holiday poems back in 2015. Those were somewhat different times than where we find ourselves today, and this piece, while not written as a holiday poem per se, carries the very essence of what we should be holding dear today and every day.
