Grace in motion, grace in speech

Some have it, and use to please

Themselves, as they're on show

And so glide effortlessly below



Heads filled with larger ideas

About being known, not feared

So they live their lives on-stage

Until reality hits during some age



And then they will back away

From the process, and so stay

Under wraps for another time

When courage is more prime ...



- Tristram
