No pause long enough for my aging eyes to rest,
the time they need to settle, focus, and define,
is too long for our two realities to align,
all I, we, or any can do is their best;
yet knowing that I still must confess,
the brevity of it leaves my heart behind…
She is so damn fast!
With her now like memories, I am but a solemn guest,
watching as she grows, iterates and refines,
proud she is a part of me, though never mine;
always sprinting ahead, chasing life’s next test…
She is so damn fast!
What years have passed between us
breathing like whales
we dive deep to live our lives
rise up for air seldomly
We dive deep to live our lives
That air gives rise to song
energy to move
to feed
and we rise up for air seldomly.
We dive deep to live our lives
lives fueled from the air above
the resources below
and the depths to comfort(swallow) them.
We rise up for air
and together we are there
seldomly.
We dive deep to live our lives
ponder the moments until air is needed again.
When her eyes light up like fire
it warms me to the core
to see her mind contract and expand
embracing all that’s in store.
To find and explore new thoughts
that she wants to understand
to give more than she ever got
with an energy that will never tire.
If you ever met her before
she’s likely left you inspired
with her offer of a helping hand-
a trait I’ve always admired.
She’ll feed you the food off her plate
and give you advice to contemplate
she retains all the lessons she was taught
and is the first to suit up as your mascot
A master of wit and satire
because laughter is one of her few desires
I couldn’t ask for anything more
the person she is I truly adore.
What fortune to live a life with her in it!
That brilliant, brave and beautiful misfit.
