Here, Now, Forever

you humble me, you.
you are a diamond in the rough
an animal.
you bear the exquisitely painful burden of greatness
the wonder
that is you
inspires people
perhaps you dont know the possibilities that lay before you
maybe you dont realize how fabulous you really are
you probably cant even fathom the things you can do for this world while you are here
just by being you
the way you carry yourself, the way you live
the way you breathe, the way you laugh and smile
these things end wars and save lives
and start revolutions
your spirit is mighty
you level me, you do.
i am so honored to have met you
so honored to have had the privelege
of being in the presence
of one of the great souls of the universe
the stories about you are known on many worlds
they speak highly of you
around campfires and dinner tables
your legend has been written and you dont even know it yet
your magic is absolute artistry
weaved by eternal hands
your heart, a lifesaving beacon
darling,
i'd ride with you anyday

Beautiful wording. you are right, those are the things that "stop wars" and "save lives."
