Mr. Bear

Mr. Bear

A few months gone became many

Yet your kindness still lingers

Like fresh dew drops on autumn leaves.

With a warm, embalming embrace

You taught many, lectured a few

And left a mark on all.

As lost as I was, I carved a road

Always searching for the puzzlepiece

You never seemed to find.

Either way

The road less traveled is unpleasant.

But having you as a guiding light

Your sparks scattered 'cross all over.

You made me feel seen

So with a rhyme I am keen

That this poem will catch air

And find you well, Mr. Bear.

I doubt you were embraced by a real bear! So this is a metaphor for someone you adulate, someone who taught you many things, someone who found his path... and maybe yours too...a tribute to a special person; nice writing and some vivid images...
Warmly, B

You made me feel seen

How important that is on the journey through life. This is a fine tribute to someone who made a difference in a positive way.

We all need a guiding light from time to time. Nicely conveyed. Thank you for sharing.
