If the King Got a Present

He knows every man

has to work hard

for one's own fate:

the ultimate love

or

the ultimate battle

is hard won

The mind also needs

years of knowing

&

making known

in one another

like finding

one's own God

Only she can

turn the King into

a little boy again:

making him see

a new picture

of his kingdom again

in one dance
