To know
Love a man must dive into life
You endured the times of desolation and the descent
into dejection
You challenged the mountains of self doubt
And roamed the fertile valleys of intimacy
But the ache in your heart
And your silent longing was as vast as the ocean
Yet you could knock gently at the doors of people's
hearts
And your eyes and smile gave entry
To the souls of all you encountered
You dared to touch all of love's pain and sorrow
And longed for love's purpose and motive
You heard with your heart
You saw with your hands
You touched with your mind
And felt with your spirit
Sometimes reckless, often extreme
Not the tentative step for you
At times at pain
Yes, you knew all love's aspects
May you forever know the tranquillity you craved.
