I Love you because you are
changing

not for what you will become

because you are a brother of the spirit
sacred warrior travelling the forever road

so we sit a while on this forever road &
make tea from nothing and drink the steam

speak of our battles
of our women

of the arrows that pierced our souls,
and we have a good laugh

show scars, and
laugh some more

(Silently tattooing the same word)
