The Sock Drawer - 10. The Philosopher
The Philosopher
There‘s a hole in his mind
where the vapour flows out
of a silvery kind
a misty snake of cloud
And everyone it reaches
and touches as if sought
is stirred with what it teaches
and wakens to a thought
Ideas spring up around him
all fresh, delightful, young
yet age has found and bound him
though he has freely sung
The new minds prove creative
inspired with his seed
and even time‘s sedative
can‘t balk the force they breed.
