The beggars feast.
The door to understanding stands ajar
Yet I like thief in night through window peek
Within I see the good from near and far
Their voices speaking wisdom I would seek.
Their words fall on my ear a whisper low
It's cadence lyrical to one as I
A magic symphony in endless flow
I listen and my lips emit a sigh.
I feel as if a beggar at a feast
The banquet table laden with much prose
And though amongst all present I am least
No other congregation would I choose.
Brendan.
