The Bearing of Gift

Brilliance unseen,
Life cast down,
Incomprehension
Swirling 'round.

Insights like lasers
(Diamond-tough)
Lay waste to lies . . . 
Jewel honed in the rough.

Carpenter-steady,
Judgment serene,
All angles considered,
Compensations foreseen.
 
Thought-symmetry, pure,

Yielding starbursts of color:

Pain crystallized
In the mind of a brother.
