Homage

Homage — a bow to the light —
The candle lit.
A head inclined — and thoughts are tight —
A humble street
I follow, walk — step, other step —
The words and life
Of those who had come and then left,
But fought the fight.

Against the world, against themselves —
Last is the first.
The lonely fight of the world within —
This one is hurt.
With feet on Earth they reached for Sky,
But something held
On every step of the ladder climbed —
Pain’s what they had

On their return to those below —
But something else:
The prize of Words, those which are glow
And will be heard.

We — by the gift they had bestowed —
Are getting rich,
But real knowledge — the lifelong fight —
We hide it deep.

Homage — a bow to the light —
The candle lit.
