Giant (to Luis)

I met a giant 
someone who I’d naturally 
avoid like brussel sprouts 
when at first spied
having I suppose before 
tasted and disliked and 
therefore learned to dodge 
But this giant was
different he sauntered over 
and calmly sat down 
and talked about life 
and love and intimacy 
he indeed waxed poetic 
and I sat mesmerized 
This giant taught me 
an age old lesson 
Run towards your fears
and never away for 
this giant admitted that 
he too feared me
