You....Yes, You..... Poem by delilah contrapunctal.... yes, that's how I intended to spell it.........

are what....
and
maybe even some of who
they
would have wanted for me....
brilliance..
.in
and
at
an accepted art....they
would have
given
me
gladly...with
many sighs
of relief
and
worry-lines
would have
lessened....
each of them, separately,
may have acknowledged.... and loved,
though not nearly as much as I do...
your subtlety (it's ******* gorgeous! !) ...your curiosity...
.your gentle yet unwavering fire......nuanced...and bold....
.your dance... with life.....
.your gracious giving
and
sharing
of
the treasures you have found.....
.your other-than-imperious dignity..........
.I'd, ......... well........
thanks for being you.............
...................................................................that's it......
