To ALL who inspire — perhaps without even realizing…
One thousand five hundred sixty-three days
I awaited
The arrival of your pioneering imagination
Possessing power
To transport me places
I’d never have sought alone
With clever inventiveness
You illustrated my world
You were Luke
And I Leia
How freely we roamed
Growing up in a time
When amusement resided
In a child’s enterprising mind
Endless stories scripted
Performed to an audience of squirrels and birds
You heightened my fascination with language
Memorizing our favorite Pink Floyd lyrics
To croon along the moon-splashed river
Gurgling through our backyard
Never just a song
Rather a fervent interpretation of the essence
Behind every line
As we lamented
How quickly adults swapped youthful dreams
For the mundane
And what impact our teensy existence might render
Upon inconceivable universal vastness
No matter the backdrop
The intangible imprint
Forged by your loyal companionship
Is a guarded privilege
I shall never take for granted
Held in highest esteem:
He Who Galvanizes

This is dedicated to my humble baby brother, who not only coined the “LUGGAGE Lady” handle and encouraged this blog, but who has served as the mystical force behind my artistic/dramatic expression — always! ♥
