"Magician Of Misericordia"
With The Wind At My Back
You Brought Me In Before The Cold Could Stop My Blood
Made Good My Escape And Helped Me Rebuild
With Hands Gentle On My Face And Whispered Laughter In My Ear.
You Revealed The Calliope Of Rainfall
Shown Imagination Intact, Made Cuisine Of My Poetry
And Misericordia In My Poverty.
You Taught The Art Of Party Banter At The Expense Of All Others
And To Dance And Cavort.
Divulged Turns Of My Nature Untrodden
While Regarding Me Ginger And Dear
Giggled At My Jests And Scoff When I Seem Insincere.
Laid Me To Dream With Comfort Voice A Cradlesong
Inherited, My Heart Full Of Courage
From Your Spirit Miraculous And Strong.
Watching You Dance You Seem A Gypsy In Imported Black Velvet
A Callipygian Blessed Minx
Subtle Though It Was It was Then That I Realized You Inside Me
A Favor I Longed To Return
The Death Of Me Came When I Understood All You Had Done
Was From A Friends Warm Heart And Not For Lover Desired.
(No Bother, I'm Better For The Experience Of Loving You)
