I am terrified to ski your slopes
or gaze around in your mind.
It boggles mine in truest awe
of exactly what I might find.
The thoughts …
The concepts …
The visions that come from your head …
Valid … so many …
and they seem to arrive
from the moment you raise from your bed.
Busy eyes …
Busy ears …
and a soul that can hold it all …
You give it to the world,
without holding back …
No fences, no shields, no wall.
I'm very glad the universe brought you …
to this world and to this man.
It's a better place, this world …
and now, where I am.
So, wherever you are, at any moment …
I want you to know … You will always have a fan.
Your words …
Your thoughts …
The way you perceive everything around you …
is truly, truly astonishing.
I wish you and yours all the love and luck in the world.
I wrote this for Ashly Kocher. If you don't know her, go here:
https://hellopoetry.com/ashly-kocher/She is probably the most prolific poet I've ever, ever encountered. But being prolific, as you well know, does not make you good.
That is what amazes me about her ... The things she writes about have real meaning. They are observations or introspective looks at herself or the world and people around her ... and, MOST importantly, they ARE good.
Very good.
