That dessert line between the East and West,
May have been born to a Pagan father,
But he was feed by a Christian mom's breast;

God's love graced all who would come to hear it,
He fought profane heresies without fear,
Praised as the Harp of the Holy Spirit:

The shepherd led his flock west to safety.
His old school still bred countless conversions,
Tending the sick, death came too hastily:

You taught and fought through the musical arts,
I hope through my sonnets to touch their hearts.
