Sir

 
your world of knowledge amazes me
I get caught up with dreams of places you've been
your importance to the people is evident

I am one of those you're so giving to
beaming in the energy you put off
with a well of wisdom and a bounty of kindness, you glow
and we're drawn to your charm

I wonder at the people you find of interest
they must be of a great intellect
I consider myself gifted but I stand on tip-toe to reach you
to keep up in a conversation with you

in love with your soul, I long to touch you there
to add to your love of the world
I am gifting back to you some light

I see you for who you are
and I'm drawn by all your facets
a diamond reflecting brilliance

still, with your feet planted firmly on the ground
you make everyone feel understood
you meet us where we live

in a high society function or mundane neighborhood
the gift is in your eyes you see beauty with your artistic attention
writing something romantic or hard steeled truth out of nothing
it's the gift of an author to build foundations of ash
