Below is a tribute to American poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar:
paul lawrence dunbar
when he entered a room
people turned
his way
and not because
he was a great poet
with enormous charisma
and not because
he made people
feel better
about themselves
they turned
to face
the light
paul lawrence dunbar
was a bearer of light
