John

the price was too high
for the man of many dreams
the pains are too real
for the man of many feelings
the loss is unpardonable
for the man of many truths
yet the man of many men
continues to dream
to write, to speak
to share his soul
his spirit
his pain
and through his strength,
his word, his song
continues to teach
and reveal the truth
to those of us
who cannot see

Inspired by a brilliant mind, John Trudell
