Generosity

And like the

Winter does for

The spring to

Give what you

Can to another

Causes both to

Have their meanings

Generosity of self

Requires no acknowledgement

The recognition occurs

In the blossoms

Of the other

Give and then

Give more and

Then even more

WhatWho (for Jay)

My dear boy

Please remember that

There’s a difference

Between the what

And the who

The what when

Done enough like

All things grows

Old and weary

But the who

Oh the who

Remains ageless and

Always always new

When

Speaking of love

It is not

The who or

The where or

The what or

Even the why

What is important

Is the when

For when is

Possibility for when

Is less thought

And more action

For when to

Love is simply

Always to love

Darkness

And as is

Usual when the

Dark seems darkest

A hand by

Way of a

Hello reaches out

Simple and innocent

Like the first

Leaf of Autumn

To fall it

Lands softly on

The hand reminding

You that you

Are not alone

It is the

Darkness that is

OneSmallSplash (the end of Mr. B)

Your impact on

Me was surprisingly

Less cataclysmic than

I thought it’d

Be when I

Witnessed you falling

Out of Heaven

All fiery spectacle

Ablaze and grandiose

Shielding and covering

Expecting a boom

You landed no

More grand than

A stone in

An already filled

Lake that I

Am making but

One small splash

Nary a ripple
