He was always so

quiet,

content to let his presence say

all that needed said.


His eyes spoke

volumes

of silent wisdom

but guarded all else as though

he never had secrets.


Not even one.


To have been his

hidden mystery,

only in his

unspoken thoughts.


To have been the guarded secret,

harbored in fear of weakness.


If even the thought of me had lived

in his mind,

surely,

it would have made me worthy of

epics.
