I knew there was a poem dying to be written
Then Skip posted your pic
They all began to reminisce
And I realized,
It was you trying to be remembered

They dug deep into their memoirs
Chatting up good times
Quoting your punchlines
Like they pulled from the same reservoir
Like you were destined to be remembered
Because now here you are
Khary,
Flooding minds with memories
Praying that somehow they’d inspire me
To write your poetry
In hopes that your lyrics
May flood their forever

I’m flattered

I thought I’d never
Get a chance to redeem you
After that night when I dreamed you
Only to wake up and scream for you
Supreme balancement is treasure
As your spirit arrives on your anniversary
Allowing me to sing for you

“As they reminisce over you my god…”

I’m flooded

Overwhelmed with emotion
Because in the midst of their own chaos
Your soul is painted in their virtual reality
Pieces of pictures depicted so vividly
That a stranger could come
And view you so perfectly

And become flooded

Overcome with laughter
And sheer admiration
Only to leave these pages
With aspirations of a leaving a legacy
Of being remembered so beautifully
Wondering if their stories
Would leave strangers
Wishing they had known them

We thank you

For leaving us flooded
With your sweet memory….
