OneEyedBear

And one day

Long ago I

Left him there

Right where I

Found him worse

For the wear

And filled with

Adventures and conquest

And battles and

Picnics but I

Never ever forgot

My first friend

That homely ruddy

One eyed bear

WhatsLeft

What is left

After the anger

Disappears probably the

Same things left

Behind by the

Tide a Galaxy

Of sparkling stones

Begging you to

Take notice now

Because tomorrow they

Will all disappear

Beneath something else

WhatHeIs

He is so

Many things that

To simply describe

Would diminish the

Rest imagine if

You will a

Willow in summer

Giving shade from

Sun or perhaps

A cloudburst on

A dusty plain

Or maybe snow

On Christmas Eve

Or the knowing

That you’ve known

Each other before

And forever have

Found comfort in

The other for

All of millennia

WeCallUs (to Jarvis)

From around a

Blind corner you

Came surprising me

Face to face

We stared and

Stammered and sighed

And sought refuge

Inside of ourselves

Hoping the other

Wouldn’t see and

Then smiles broke

Free exposing us

And our chagrin

To each other

Then we began

Right there something

We call us

ThatOneGift (to Grey)

Sometimes life reminds

Me of that

One Christmas long

Ago when for

Days I spied

Upon that one

Gift nestled beneath

The tree knowing

That it was

For me and

When the day

Finally. came it

Went to someone

Else oh the

Gifts that I

Received were fine

But it was

That one that

Made that Christmas

Special to me
