‘Implicit’ from Fragmentations by Gerard Bellaart [2005]

I
This emptiness is my private lair.
It confines me like a clubman's chair.
I am free of desire.
I don't mind being here either.

II
How do you know he's really great?
Just ask him. He will really tell you.
Mountains move and waters part
when he walks in. That's not
too hard to believe, is it?
Not when such a great man
says so.

III
I had a friend who's little known,
his work unseen, his praise unsung.
His motto was "Coraggio!"
