Roger Federer: The Man, The Maestro


It wasn’t about regaining a trophy,
As much as it was about retrieving splendour...
 It wasn’t about living the moment,
As much as it was about re-living it...
It wasn’t about winning,
As it was about conquering...

Different usance of words,
Each like a dissimilar homophone
Yet with the same context
‘tween the past and present,
 As though there were no lags...

Numbers uncountable,
Stats and figures underrated,
The visage of time and age...
Uncontested and unquestioned
Making no difference to passage rites...

Peers and contestants
Flitting time brings more of them
Each better than before,
Each shrewder than ere,
The champion tho’ with his mettle
Prevails all over, like none other...
