A man’s uncompromising soul, 

rests in clarity and valor.

Peter's denial was three,

mine many more.

Love conquers 

as all souls do know

Yin, a man’s forgotten wing

a gate to grandeur's heart,

whose nature moves skyward,

to embrace its celestial crown,

reducing and expanding —

synchronously,

into the wisdom of Tao,

which is love left free

to do and be.
