Ode to bestest

Thoughts of you are like a dream manifested
And brought to life in a fairytale
A soundless voice speaking to me untested
Of heart's desires and secrets so frail.
That butterfly wings and ladybug feet
Would shatter their existence in a second
But you understood and made it all sweet
Like split aparts whose fingers beckoned
Dark thoughts rose up in glorious splendor
Becoming the first tendrils of spring.

Unlikely child of a universe so structured
The labyrinth between was all eternity
Until your innocence and persistence ruptured
And the boundaries burst open to maternity
Born backwards into blessed being
By similitude undreamed by any
Whose open eyes were yet unseeing
What hearts saw when they were ready.
Boundaries were spanned with sleek abandon
Becoming the first blooms of summer.

Sweet soul whose life burst forth like living roman candles
Sparks igniting everything they landed on
Energy and creativity becoming handles
Baskets overflowing like blessed rain song
Sprinkling abundance as you walked
Spreading joy with every glance
Opening minds whenever you talked
Becoming the steps of the dance
Surely goodness and mercy settled in
And spread their roots forever.
