Poem Title:
Poem
But you—the wild one You were compulsive, fiery and inventive I had my share of the wild and free But you were molded from them—with insane beauty Despite our differences we remained together Perhaps you think I mean to save you—tame you But I merely long to contain the sun And hinder the pervasive burns So that in so doing, I may always keep you warm For cold wild shall destroy As warm wild shall invent Searing wild will one day save the world And then destroy it all the next Dear beloved one, I saw you amongst the wild horses I did not dare touch you Because I was afraid of Change But Change was a delight—an apple to your eye And I did not realize that Change was embedded in my very being So when you shyly approached me, I knew you were hungry I fed you ample laughter and music And soon I gained your highest respect Along with a thousand other mystical blessings I will not always remain by your side as if I am among you But perhaps I shall linger at a distance—level to your luminosity As words continue to flow, I shall slowly inch myself forward To be frank—you are the greatest companion in my world Hot or cold—seared or chilled You will always remain among the wild and free And that race is sadly. . . Slowly dwindling Tell me you shall never become me Never Change In honor of you, One day I will reach out my quivering hand And you will consume the Apple of Friendship Until then, Look beside you As was inevitable— I have changed for the better Because you are—and always will be My very greatest friend till the end -this Ode was meant to be altogether; I hope you enjoyed reading, and thank you-
