you are my wizard
thru smoke and by mirrors
your logic defies for me
deepseated fears
with a flip of the wrist
and a twist of your hand
you magically show me
a beauty within
you pick up a vase
and you blow off the dust
you let out the genie
and refill with trust
with hardly an effort
you transform so much
restoring lost value
with your magical touch
mathematical genius
magician extraordinaire
you effect a metamorphosis
from out of nowhere
you're strong and empowered
but you use this for good
and not for the evil
you know that you could
your sacrificial love
i can't help but adore
thank you for setting
me free to explore

Richard,
What sets you apart from the rest of the world is that you take your visions, your "advantage circuits", your genius understanding of timing, and you go beyond petty manipulations, tempering your magical powers of open communication, with ethics and a rare level of honesty that makes you a master indeed, a Master of Transformation.
You ARE an enabler. In the best possible sense of the word.
You "effect a metamorphisis", in yourself and in others.
If that isn't a very special gift the world needs,
in ways both large and small, then i don't know what is.
knowing you
has been a profoundly "spiritual",
healing experience for me.
your loving friendship moves me.
thank you for holding up a mirror
to my "blindspot"
helping me to gain a clearer picture
in my journey of self-discovery.
thank you for gently coaxing me
("kicking and screaming" no less)
to the edge of a cliff
to glimpse a place full of love and trust and friendship.
(and thank you for not pushing me off!!!)
thank you for sharing with me
the mindblowing knowledge
of what an incredible force for good
one person can be.
i can not thank you enuf my friend.
(but i can try! given enuf time.)
Your verg'en friend,
Niki
ps - i don't know if it's wise or foolish to post this here...i know it's possible that it'll start bizarre rumours but fuck it, i just wanna shout to the whole flipping world what a wonderful friend you are.
they really should know. most importantly, you should know, how very much i don't love or appreciate you.
