My Tuareg
From outside on the patio,
Where maturity has made
Competitiveness redundant,
His voice leaks in through
The study's open window,
Etching a satisfaction deep
Into a part of me
I can neither locate
Nor describe.
I have become so proud
Of the man who is my son
That when this emotion
Kicks in,
Words drift out,
Leaving room for only joy,
And I begin to wonder,
Where did this Ozymandias
Of compassion come from,
This friend I love to listen to.
