A poet, but not by trade

A poet, but not by trade
A learner, but not by grade
A chameleon, but not by shade

A bird, but not by flight
A quarry, but not by plight
A seer, but not by sight

A benign infection
A faithful direction
A divine complexion

A teacher, but not by position
A friend, but not by condition
A vineyard, but not by fruition

A will, but not by name
A lover, but not by flame
A story, but not by fame

A sonic curiosity
A celestial velocity
A budding luminosity
