Unshaved, unkempt,
black nails, black teeth
and an old, tattered coat.
You&#8217;d dismiss him as derelict
and walk straight past.
Yet when he spoke
eagles soared,
mountains talked
and I glimpsed infinity.
&#8220;I&#8217;m a storyteller&#8221;
he said.
His stories wove spells
of dreaming and meaning.
The universe expanded,
and I felt for a moment
that I touched its limits.
Derelict,
Storyteller,
Spellbinder &#8230;
The essence of truth
lies perhaps in all three.
