When the followers lead

 

The sprint along the untrodden track

To keep pace with the sublimity 

Superlative despite his flaws and folly

An unequal self  of the egalitarian lot

And still an unfinished perfection 

Unsurpassable as an infinite horizon 

While the throng is struck in ripples

Emanated from an unshakeable ore

The Master excels to ccreate his aura

While the sun manages to ring a halo

And the breeze blows his soft tune 

Somewhere amidst the cloud and the wave

He holds his gait to perfection :

He who fears not to dissolve 

In the taste of brine 

In the charred sky of night

In the flutter of twilight

In the grayness of the wave 

The throng knows not whom they follow

For the Master has no face 

Only his form to follow 

And the elongated forms

Of those that follow 

The Master steps on these shadows 

Of those who actually lead the way

Somehow believe they can only follow
