An Ode to the Glorious!

A persona with such brilliant resplendence,
Altruistic, though, with hint of self indulgence.
Set to accomplish tasks, herculean,
And, follower of philosophy, epicurean.
Adorned with the leonine nobility,
Yet, encompassing the leporine serenity.
Comrade to comrades, reliable,
Rival to rivals, irreconcilable.
Exuding sincere benevolence,
A gentleman with beaming countenance.

Even the cosmos vie
To surrender to his obsequiousness, sweet.
For, just a glimpse of him
Tenders the soul such a heavenly treat.
He is the fortune of his loved ones,
An embodiment of immense resilience.

Thou art perseverance personified,
Dignity per se dignified.
Thou art the sapience,
That springs from the oracle.
Thou art the sanguinity,
That portends a miracle.

Learned from him the essence of persistence,
Witnessed in him the ardor for existence.
Have dedicated to him my passion whole,
He is the sine qua non of this fervid soul.
