ODE TO THE EVOLUTED

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

you and I stood
together
on a perfect bridge
between two worlds
metaphorically speaking
earlier today
the parallels you were
able to make
made my breath hitch
at the beauty of your
complex mind
repeatedly overhauling
itself
I admired you thus
your once
subtle simplicity
so perfectly layered
draped even as it were
in annual robes of
gathered complexity
evoluted you were
I bantered to joke
creating for your ears
a new word along with
more joy for your spirit
at least I hoped
you are a wholly likable
fellow my so beloved sir
the world still knows not yet
just whom she holds
in the boundaries of
her physical bonds of time
smiling brighter now
I think
oh but I certainly do
that is why I love you
because I've always known
I'm the luckiest one
to so fully appreciate
this gem that you have become.............

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I had a wonderful deep conversation with a good friend earlier today and he surprised me with some parallels he made on his life with his grandfather's and I was so impressed with how much he has grown over the years and matured. This poem was born of that astonishing conversation we had.
