I’ll Revisit Your Grave (Farewell 30/30…for Now) an Elegy

You taught me faithfulness and loyalty beyond measure

I have never been able to complete a task

My mind won’t allow it

And yet…you’ve given me a reason to defy all

Distractions

Did you know that Mosaic Distortion was originally

About my thought process

Yes mosaic art-broken pieces of glass

Hiding images…that is me

So abstract

You helped find me in the pixilation

Gave me challenges which could only make me a better person, yet I don’t even know how I arrived

You were an enigma

You were impossible…at times

You were the disciplinarian

Leaving me scratching my head thinking that it

Couldn’t be done

I am so proud of all that we accomplished together

We were such a great team

When I knew it was coming to an end I was in such

Denial because it all happened so fast

After the announcement of your death all I thought

Was “I have time.”  I was so wrong

There were SO many times that I took advantage of

You

I’ll never forget you…how could I

How could I forget the late night talks until 3 in the morning

Wondering if I said the wrong thing

You made me correct it sometimes through the eyes

Of another…how did you do that

So I will revisit your grave for the reunion of a

Lifetime

I will revisit your grave and talk to you as if you

Never left me

Because there will always be something new to share

I will revisit your grave proving the promises I made

I promise to hold true to the lessons you’ve taught

Me…..to be diverse

You taught me to be creative

You taught me to just do it and NOT care about

What anyone else thinks

How could I not hold true to this

You taught me faithfulness and loyalty beyond

Measure

Beyond measure

I’m sure you’ve made many very jealous of what we

Had

Thing is…we’ll continue to have it

Because I’ll revisit your grave every year
