In gardens of commerce and fields of thought,
A regenerative leader tirelessly sought,
Not merely to take but to plant anew,
Seeds of wisdom, love, and virtue.

Roots entrenched where bright tomorrows glow.
Not for the now, but for what's ahead,
For those unseen, unheard, unfed,
A conscious path that minds the Earth,
A way of leading, giving birth.
To dreams sustainable, pure, …

An Inspired Poem: Climbing the Right Mountain
Climbing the right mountain, a journey of the soul
An adventure that beckons, to reach a new goal
A quest for meaning, a path to be found
To climb the right mountain, and stand on sacred ground
