Sagacity

His voice was laden

guttural sounds heaving words

the weight of lead

Sagacity spoke 

winnowing lies like chaff

from the grain

And within his mind fell depth

a deepness

welling from the soul 

pouring forth his wisdom

softly spoken in dulcet tones

His eyes smiled; veracity

Of truth Sagacity spoke

Gentle with a giant touch

◄ Chaffed

This poem is based on the last poem I posted. David’s comment about a quiet man in his local boozer who rarely spoke caught my imagination, so l rewrote the poem. So thanks David, hope it works. Thanks for the like Dolly.
