thanks for being


a being like mine, whose thoughts are long and abstract.

a being like mine, who is content alone.

a being like mine. Simple. Genuine. Insignificant-

insignificantly lost in the only significance.

this being, like His, who puts others first.

a being of compassion. Devotion. Engage-

engaged to the atmosphere, to every being.

this being in not like mine. But better.

a being more present, more enthusiastic.

with a quiet disposition and a loud passion.

with words of elegance and dreams of whimsy.

this being's depths are deeper than mine.

a being who listens.

a being who loves.

a being like mine.

a being all mine.
