@the Hermit Poem by Jordan Legaspi

the hermit


The reputation, he's the wise old man
whose judgment is firm and balance
The secluded; in prayer, in penance away from the rest of men
whose noble wage is his holy countenance;

Some seek his counsel, others becomes his disciples
Still few believes to his gift with awe and wonder
Thus, he is the son of covenant, and the father of words
when the night ends, and when the day begins or why it thunders;

He's delight is the fragrance of the forest
or the desert with its serene and deafening silence
at times with the shadows of the mysterious cave yet at peace
alone with nature -the extraordinary life's evince;

Hermit -a way of life exult in its chaste novelty
The vocation adept to earth-divine spirituality.


Note:
The 'the hermit' is one of the characters of the author's 'brotherhood's circle'- the poetry in motion: the angel; the warlock; the jester; the poet; the philosopher; the king; the knight; the hermit; the elf; the scientist; the priest; the vampire and the alien.
