Progressive Traditionalist

 

A progressive traditionalist

He called himself,

This elderly man

With long grey hair,

Short biting wit,

A mischievous spirituality

Dancing around him,

A progressive traditionalist

Of the raven, the trickster,

He smiled,

There was a time when

The village was the nucleus,

Now it’s each individual,

Each house

In the village.
