YOU ASKED

JOURNAL # 40

'You Asked'
me
how I saw you
such portrait
I am not so certain
how to paint
how you have evolved
since I've met you
so many layers you have
added and simultaneously
removed just for me
peeling away
one by glorious one
all my preconceived notions
then gradually displaying
your unadorned core
for me to thoroughly inspect
and or modify if you felt
need be
or so you say
what a lovely maze you
guided me through
your warmth was your
bread crumbs
and I was Gretal to your
deep mysterious woods
still am
if you ask me
in so many complicated ways
as I never ever tire of
getting to know more
and more of this
stunning
collection of unique experiences
which has made you the you
I've come to know
that which you have given me
unlimited permission to explore
and sort out to my own
mystified soul's content
you are a gift to me of ideas
and thoughts woven into
a remarkable package of
one unforgettable human being
so since 'YOU ASKED'
you are an undying storm
that forever gathers around me
so tell me
does that answer your question
even if only slightly?......................

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A conversation I've had over the years with a very good friend where this person asks me what I mean to them and finally in a compilation I tell them as the words finally came to me.
