Red - The Man

by AshL - Aquarius

Living earth is lonelier today
  as we went all the circling roads
trip upon trip
 you made me smile and made me happy
you took me small, gave me so much
 taught me the skill of invention
showed me the path to creativity
   always treating and loving
you never gave up on me
   always stood by me
never a bad word for you
  only praise and admiration
for one who made magic out of nothing
  from all the metal scrap you wielded magic
brought life to matter
   always miss those words
those praise you always gave me
  even when i didnt deserve them
the quiet encouragement
  no pressure always, always here you said
and you will always be
  left me with that creative hands
that will to make something work
   always had you
remembering the mornings
  while you waited at the bus stop
in the white mini car
  the road rage, the funny conversations
you were always genuine to me
  took me places
made me learn the peace in nature
  the love of travelling
the world cup, the frozen uncooked pizza
  you made us eat,
the plain bread with sardines and salt,
  the freedom of the long drives,
the understanding, complicity always there
  always looking after me,
you left as you were always,
  fighting and finding solutions,
never gave up,
as you left this morning,
   my soul, the me that you knew
lost its best friend,
  the perfect example,
the original creative genius,
  everything i unscrew, i re-invent
all influenced by you,
   i run out of words today in all senses,
I have lost you,
  your life will remain special to me,
from the green toy to the very last calculator
  I will miss you forever,
teacher, guide, icon.
