This poem is a promise
A promise that says fealty
As much as the annual recitations of the landless to the landed
The foreswearing of commitment
This poem sings your praises
Heaping halleluiahs on the sighs of angels
Listening to the echoes of your bright truth
That you call forth so effortlessly
In stringed communion with these comfortable friends
This poem says we stand together
Guarding each others back
Against the slings and arrows of fortunes outraged
Yet holding fast, at last
This poem walks you home
This poem is a promise and a hope
This poem invites you to stay
