how he so loves to label me
'The Thinker Of Thinkers'
I am still yet pondering
just what does that mean
a compliment likely
but confusing all the more
to someone like me
as it is natural to think
and question different angles
of what must be
moreover
would the sky not be lonely
without the trees tops
swaying in their breeze
a magical understanding
moves itself in
so to come over me
as I write
what was vague before
suddenly grows clear
steadily within the spirit's light
honor is a badge one must earn
just as fickle is a demerit
taken gradually apart
and so I must conjure
what say you to this thinker of thinkers
is she a house on fire
or a castle beleaguered
select your perception's poison
and toast it to
other inner truths yet told
for this is indeed a night to
revel in subtle irreverence.............
