The man with glistening eyes.
Heart wide-open as offering.
Days full of chatting, roasting and containment.
The earthen elixir pours from hands to mouth.
An understanding of life through ease and craft.
Devotion to the organic path.
Leather, silver, copper and bean
some of his favorite things.
Illusions fade in presence of Being
as Fire and Iron engulf the warrior of Love.
The beespoke ceremony in every cup.
Mama held at lips for a taste of ancient home.
Entrenched in sacred grounds —is his only way —to live from the bones.
