Connections/Reconnecting Poem by Gabrielle Ciarann Roniyah Baer

A golden voice,
A blazing pair of eyes
Caught our attention.

A heart-stopping grin,
A quick-silver laugh
Held us fast.

A gleaming head of hair,
A whirling, bronzed form
kept us avid.

A wild spirit,
A gentle wink
Let us in.

A warrior’s courage,
A hunter’s cunning
made us wonder.

A hero’s friendship,
A journeyer’s heart
let us dream.

A brilliant source,
A glad cry
brought us together,
hoping,
as he became immortal,
so might we!
Iolaus athanatos esti! Zei!
