The Voice of an Angel Today I heard an angel's voice A sound to make the heart rejoice From far away it called to me Then whispered from across the sea From half way round the world it came It beckoned me to call its name And in that moment in my ear An angel's singing I did hear So beautiful a voice it was And sang just like an angel does My heart then skipped a solid beat To hear this soft angelic treat She spoke to me with such delight It filled my lonely empty night It made me laugh, it made me cry Those precious moments passing by No hurried step the angel tread I listened close to all she said I felt her love, I knew her well As she cast her charismatic spell And then I noticed that her words Were just a bit like singing birds A different way, a different style A charming accent all the while It was our poet, it was she New Zealand's goddess of poetry A girl named Kamla in her youth Speaking words of love and truth We talked and laughed so very much With tales of men and love and such There wasn't time to say it all So Kamla, darling, won't you call?

I can only imagine if her voice were half as beautiful as she is a person, you were very blessed. This makes me smile...I love how this site joins people. |

Elizabeth, this is so beautiful, "A Goddess of poetry" Kamla is indeed. What comes from the heart goes to the heart. Samuel Coleridge |

OH LIZ! You beat me!! I had to go out, and I was thinking just the same thing. Your words made my day - and brought joy to a day of otherwise sadness. Thankyou my dear dear friend - and your poem is in the works (Freeversed of course...! LOL) Oh - I am just bouncing here!!! With a smile wider than those seas...  Wow... Love you Kamla. |
