Brilliance

I can listen
and learn.
Analyze
and Yearn.
For brilliance as fine
as yours.
Older and wise
Soft and slow
your words so weighted
lightly flow.
from your softly wrinkled lips
and shaky aged voice
I hear the brilliance
stemming from finely made choice-
es.
winces
long gilt fences
bursting wide
from your mind.
and I continue to search
and find.
Brilliance.
