Bryan

you were a phenom

always striving 

more to do, more to be
with love enough 

to fill a sea

braggadocios and yet
full of doubt

the kind of kind
to quench a drought

as weird and wild 

as the tempest
as strange and beautiful 

as bioluminescence

a force to reckon
a heartfelt balm
a raucous laugh
a quiet calm

you were a phenom

fierce and fine

and as for friends...
like so many,

I was so proud 

to call you mine
