Somewhere... out there...

This was actually written several years ago
for the person whose poetry and friendship
inspired me to start writing.  Just felt
the need to share it tonight.  
___________________________________

your words are a special gift-
a gift to me from God
he saw my emptiness
and sent you
       to fill the void
I read your words
       your feelings
and I recognize them
for I have heard them...
       felt them before
they are yours
       and yet
          they are my own
how do you know my hopes
        my dreams
           my fears
              my pain
                 my life
I wonder...
and then I remember-
God gave you to me...
        my heart's friend

          -vlraynes


Thanks dg.    

"...until you have read the verse
on his heart, you have not truely
met the poet.    -vlraynes

And THIS is just exactly what I mean in
'The Spark Of A Poet' ...(posted in open)

How wonderful when one poet stirs another's ink !

I enjoyed this tribute to DG !
She did us all a favor !
