Now I know You (for Patrejon)

Not a thing I knew about you, Your dreams, Your desires, Or preferences, It was on this forum I met you! Much, I now know about you: I read your heart, So large, and distinct, With your comments on others’ works, I measure your heart with a precision of the oracles. Volume, I know about you: I read your mind, So sound and rich, Yes richer than gold refined, Yours is to me, an uncommon mind Revealed by poetry, Even the poetry on this forum Not a thing I knew about you, Your dreams, Your desires, Or preferences, It was on this forum I met you! Then your heart, And later, your mind. Today, I boldly say, I know you, For nothing reveals a man better than his heart Or what else mirrors a man clearer than his mind?
