This is my Grandfather.

This is, my Grandfather.

A man, not unlike
The Colossus of Rhodes.
Standing astride entire gateways,
Bordering metropoli
Bearing megaliths
Becoming monuments
To the sacred history of
Everything.

This is my Grandfather.

A genius with
Unquestionable, exquisite taste.
A Da Vinci of our era,
Creating masterpieces
Counting memories
Carving mysteries
From the entirety of the rest of
Everything.

This is my Grandfather.

A man who lived
Like there was no tomorrow.
Surviving then to live now,
Weaving narratives
Writing nuances
Warring nemesises
Defending us all from the dangers of
Everything.

This is my Grandfather.

Who was and is
Many things and more.
He was Atlas, Odin, Odysseus,
Traversing continents
Talking compliments
Timing coordinates
He was perfect in almost
Everything.

dedicated to my grandfather, Died 12/01/2013
