A Brother Otherwise



I was supposed to be a Mason but
I was shy about DeMolay
I was thirteen if you know what I mean
And my Grandpa died anyway

When I was falling headlong into what
Would be the madness in between
Then and now going but already gone
Too far to be a joiner then
Knowing I would have to do this alone

And so that is what I have been
Doing all these years out here on my own
Master of none but in my way
A brother otherwise to everyone

A lodge of one as I go on
To find out about what it means to be
In me out of what I have seen
Internally and yet fraternally
A brother otherwise unseen

On my way to see what it means to me
I suppose I never forgot
How I was chosen anyway to see
Some things maybe others might not

Out here transcending independently
Ending up now as poetry

Reviewed on January 10, 2020
I looked, "Steven Curtis Lance", up and it read, "Poetry"! Your memories of masonry stuck with you in a sense. You chisel words in your mind to come together as poems and lovely ones at that! Write on, hon!

Love ya!

Jane
