You know what?
He is a poem
and I love his every verse;
his every rhyme.
He sounds like a soft-spoken poem
to my longing heart.
He is the alphabets to the empty pages
of my wondering soul.
He is no better than Proverbs and Psalms
but… he gives meaning to the life
that was once under the shadow.
And that’s enough to calm the storm
within the anxious mind
because his presence
tastes like a cup of your favorite hot chocolate,
and feels warm like your old gray hoodie
on a first week of rainy October
Note:
The first four verses were originally written on 13 September, 2016. Then I added more verses on 16 January, 2017. Yes, sometimes you need a pause to walk farther.
