I have met some who

Make me feel like I have met them before

As if they are little edited versions

Of the ones I used to know

I have known those who

Charm and disarm

But their few little tricks

Interest me for a bit and then no more

As with practice

Even the finest tricks seem a little bore

I have seen those who

Shock and surprise

With their obvious deception and lies

And leave me wondering

Whether they have a conscience

Although there have also been a few

Who are honest to a fault

And while I love their clear hearts

I wonder how they survive

Maybe luck lets the good ones thrive?

I have known few who are blinded by

Various versions of silliness

Imagined or acquired

They bump blindly

Into these maze of restricted possibilities

Not knowing how their biases

Blind them at every turn

And create walls

That just don’t need to be.

I have luckily known few

Who in spite of the different worlds they lived in

Somehow stand out,

In thought and in behavior

In soul and in action

The brightest they could be

The ones who held on to righteous instinct

In spite of their stubborn worlds pushing them

Right against it.

I have known those with a curiously

Infinite ability to love and forgive

With a heart of gold and a tongue so sweet

That it could soften a rock if it decided to.

I have met those with

Determinations so strong and dreams so high

That they convinced me they could capture the sky.

I have met

With shocking beauty

And equally shocking flaws

And sometimes,

I have met them together

In the same person

But the ones I treasure the most

Are the ones whom I meet

And all I can think of

Is how scared am I at the mere thought

Of losing them

Even if for a little while.
