Ode to My Lama Monster


Lama monster, I miss you.
It feels like just yesterday
that I saw you in the halls 
 and waved
            then hugged you
                          and talked
to you for hours.
It feels like today that I
          looked
into those HonduroJap eyes
into that bright grinning face
         held
your advice to my heart
        revered
your thoughts,
astonished
by their audacity and rebellion.
Lama Monster, I want you
back into my life.
Want you back in at my side.
Since you left I
can not
            and
will not
be the same.
You make me
feel
you let me
see
that there’s still hope.
There’s hope for me
to make new friends
to fight new battles
to be good (and bad)
at the things I
love.
Lama Monster, I need you
to return to your
rightful
place
and smile at me again
and catch my HP rant
and immortalize it on FB
and remind me of the
good ol’ days
when it was
fun
          and
games
          and
smiles
          and
giggles
          and
nothing really mattered
as much
as being
           real
           happy
           meaningful
           strong
           sweet
           warm
           caring.
Lama Monster, come back.
You’re too
                              far
away
from where I need
              you
to be right now.
If I could have a dream
granted
it would be that you come
back.
Lama Monster, you’re my best friend.
Lama Monster, you’re beautiful.
