Curiosity, Loyalty, Love

Though an ocean of table & life Lay squarely between us, like a lighthouse lamp you shine in your charm & show me a way The curiosity you embodied in following your rood sense, the clicking & clacking in the air, In reaching from your world for the fruits of poetry waiting ripe in mine, Life & love know you well, You do not wait in the dark, no, you stretch & strive for your sprouting like the purest flower or the wisest old tree... May you continue to live your loyalty to what is good & beautiful in this world, never forgetting what,, from my side, seems first — | amongst these good & beautiful bounties of life... Yourself.
