Homage to Modern Minstrel Philosophers - Contemporary Sage
My first encounter
with Natalie
was watching her
appearance
on a late night talk show
She sang so beautifully
in her sonorous,
silky alto.
Lithely dancing
to the rhythm,
arms extended, undulating,
hands moving
in Hula or
Flamenco-like
motions.
A one sided romance
began to bud.
Dare I say?
I fell in love
with this free-spirited
songstress
and her captivating performance.
Her music teaches me
to pay more attention
to the human condition.
To do what I can to lighten the burden
of the downtrodden
Instills a deep sense of gratitude
for acts of kindness
and generosity
that rain on me constantly.
Reminds me to
cherish each moment
of every day
Elucidates the wonder of
each and every woman
compelling me,
as a father,
to introduce her
to my daughter
I feel humbled
to share the same age
with this captivating sage.
