the name

rebmasters

You called me extraordinary;
my little, sheltered soul
in my shack by the sea,
eating seaweed.

I was so surprised,
I cried
just a little;
I admired you so.

To strip away self-doubt
to the bare rawness that remains,
lighten the load;
seeds I have sowed
& never thought that they would grow.

Like that coffee cup
emptied of grains,
but flowering anyway,
you turned on me your gaze;
afraid to look away.

To define is a line
that’s paper thin.
Sometimes we walk it straight,
sometimes we will waver.
How strange to meet you at the line;
touching distance,
muse becomes man.

You give me your strong hand,
your voice
& magnify my mild mind,
as though I deserve it:
the name
you gave

    'To define is a line
    that’s paper thin.
    Sometimes we walk it straight,
    sometimes we will waver.
    How strange to meet you at the line'..
    whether in mere fictionalised inspiration
    or reality's, experienced gratitude
    whomever planted: within you
    such words, imbued with sincerity
    of that realised potential, of-self
    deserves
    all immense accolades, however
    short lived or lasting, their presence in your life;
    for they've inspired a dedication and testimony
    of poetic reverence
    that few of us would dare dream, aspire - to...!
    (such a graceful tribute and dedication
    and a delectably poetic read
    thank you! dear poet)
