I met an Odd Man one day
By pure accident & luck
He spoke of vast pictures in his head
Of precious things torn from his heart
"So open is he with things that matter!"
I said in amazement
And with respect I listened
Then more and more with Love
Endlessly to this wonderfully
Odd & Interesting Man
My heart started melting
Drop by tiny droplet upon the ground
And when he felt the small but
Noticeably growing puddle at his feet
He did the strangest thing!
He gathered up the liquid with care
And offered it to me sweetly
As if I had forgotten it in haste
Saying "This is yours, you must drink it!"
From his kind perspective
It was not a mess to be wiped away
Not a hazzard to avoid in careless step
Nor a treasure to steal away in triumph
But an essential nutrient, an elixir of mine
That my body requires, never to be wasted again
Such a stunningly, perfectly, Beautiful Man
I will Love him through always and ever
And Time
