the piper man has come
like it or not
time to mind the call
or forever be pulled
how we danced
to songs in ordinary time
how delicious the fruit
of each new discovery
how we dreamed
on shoulders broad and mighty
firm with expectation
yet fair with compassion
how we loved
on sheets fragrant with infinity
figure eights rising and falling
under a sturgeon moon
time has now come
to heed the call
of the piper, to the hungry table
to serve with love the lessons learned
what good will it make?

He's a kind piper man, no worries :)
