my grandfather
that beautiful old man
shared such treasures with me
tales of adventure and discovery
in distant dark continents
and the cycle of the seasons
in the land we called home
he named the constellations
and revealed the golden ratio
at the heart of nature’s symmetry
he always maintained
that the universe was made
of those little treasures
he passed along to me
and that knowledge is a jewel
to be prized beyond riches
he was not a wealthy man
some might call him poor
but when he left this world
he had bequeathed me wonders
