MENTOR Bronzeskulptur by Sofia Speybrouck

He kneels by his pupil,

meets a pair of tearful eyes,

answers them with wistfulness.

Years ago he lay in the same place,

bore the same tears,

saw the same experience beam down.

Experience a lifetime in the making,

ready to be carried over.

Experience as reward for the suffering.

Experience reaches out to grief.
