For Marge Tindal

Like a wayward friend
of an acquaintance too brief,
returning home after a journey
of some days passage,
and eager to hear a kindly
voice, to see that endearing smile,
then eagerly goes forth to knock
upon her door, but there is no answer,
just the echoes of his voice,
having called, and called her name . . .

An acquaintance all too brief, I'll never forget her kindness, and the warmth that moved beyond the bounds of this medium we so casually use, to reach out and touch others through art and friendship.

Love,

Art, this was a moving homage to a fine woman of refine.

No answer to the knock at her door ~ the emptiness of that scenario, really struck home.

Warm hug,
Linda
