Inspirers --- As Gray as Gray Gets

After all this time Severus....Always Dumbledore, Always....

Eloquent are your words,
Poignant are your deeds,
Making me think, making me feel...
Inspiring, etching, and fulfilling;
Nothing like them, the treasures of my life...

Scathing are your thoughts,
Slashing through your actions,
Making me ponder, making me wonder...
Surprising, crushing, and demoralising;
How could you?, the curses that just don't stop...

Remarkable yet, is your achievement,
Worth idolising is your glory,
Making me determined, making me believe...
Efforts, satiation, and faith;
Greatness is never far, just one stop after the marathon of sweat...

Ambiguous are your memories,
Confusing is your legacy,
Making me reflect, making me retract...
Black, white and grey;
Define a perfect man, you never claimed to be anything else!
