He spoke
My language
Understood
His tongue

Something about
His essence
Transferred
Within

Before
He left
His knowledge
Touched
My naked
Mind

Made
Its impression
On my soul

His compassion
His betrayal
Endowed

Some mystical
Transmission
To receive
Loud and clear

His message
To stir his soul
Into me

A poet found
To share our work
Our information

Showers become
Clear and washed
Away

A mission
Set aside
Discovering
Myself

In relation
To my place
In this world

He will continue
To transmit
To receive this
Unconditional

This love
This compassion
Far as it can reach

A hope that
Amongst
The many
One will hear.
