An ode to my mentor

The smell, so strong at first, it strikes me.
And cold air, its purpose known, shakes me.
My first sight of you terrifies me.
The death of you disturbs me.
Your intricate layers, folded away, intrigues me.
God's purposeful map laid out baffles me.
The temple of your soul instructs me.
With each deep cut in you, it stabs me.
Knowing a person once lived here scares me.
A reminder of your generous giving comforts me.
And now knowing your true story inspires me.

(Written after taking Anatomy my first semester.)
