He sits and listens intently
When asked his opinion a few simple words he utters
Their amazed by his intelligence
Young features with an old soul
Not a very striking character
But when he writes words come to life
Life is made wonderful by the strokes of his pen
He tells a story of love
He spins a tale about life’s experiences
Old times and new
Lost love and life’s harsh realities
A gentleman is what his family calls him
A scholar is what his peers call him
A soldier is what his nation calls him
A lover is what his lady calls him
Simple descriptions barely scratch the surface
The depth of his personality is as deep as the ocean trench
As wide as the universe above
As bright as the high noon sun
He writes to restore
He writes to help
He writes to renew
His journey as just begun
Endless days exploring the path of his talents
Talents long hidden behind silent lips and a lively mind
Burst forth when freed spewed on the masses is knowledge and love
Deep and thoughtful
Harsh and deceitful
Loving and nurturing
Melodies and rhyme connotations expressed on blank pages
He is slowly finding his voice
Taken from the words he expresses so deeply
Soon to be heard by every living being
A hidden genius he is no more
