i am a triskelion

            I AM A TRISKELION...
Measured by how I give life to its meaning
-not by how I can  well define the word,
blab its tenets and survive the rites.

            I AM A TRISKELION...
Respected by my solicitude to my brothers-
-not by the scars sustained or ruptures
inflicted to others in mindless conflicts
            I AM A TRISKELION...
I am he who extends my hand and gives
Light to my brother in squalor or wallowing
in the quagmire of arid darkness.

            I AM A TRISKELION...
For I am my brothers' keeper.  I  lead not
for mundane recognition. Humility  is the piton,
service is the rock of my leadership.

            I AM A TRISKELION...
I'm a timber of my family, pillar of my community.
I  withstand punishing wind for I am not a name
I am a Triskelion brother, son, husband, father.

            I AM A TRISKELION...
I rise above the acid-test of time. For my faith
is sterling as Solomon's wisdom--to forgive
than loathe, unite than divide, give than receive.


            Triskele
I am called. Triskele I will always be.
For I am....
