Poem Commentary

Gram Brown always used to address letters to me, "Master Randolph D. Brown, Jr." If she only knew how great her use of that title "Master" inspired the young boy she was writing. I used to just read the envelope, cause as a seven, eight, nine year old, no one showed me as much respect, as she did, when I received one of her letters or cards, and read her handwriting, with the title, "Master."

Master Piece

A beautiful work of art,
  tis’ who you are,
God made you beautiful,
  never to forget, or regret.

She reminded him,
  each and every scribe,
her words did not cease,
  addressed them all: Master Piece.

His wonderful model, truth,
  outlasted them all,
consistent in the storm,
  not a mold, or the norm.

In his life, he tried to live,
  a life worthy of herself,
now pondering those times,
  find them in his rhymes.

Should God grant,
  blessing him so,
life’s strife will decrease,
  wrapped in the Master’s peace.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
