Inspired By (Part 2 you surely didn’t think that was all did you?)

Eric my friend PT, you are a master of that I have no doubt
Truth pours in a clear stream from you like water from a spout
Honesty compels me to say that your words are filled with beauty
Other writers have written blues songs that have enchanted me
Maybe they are good but they aren’t so perfect, not consistently
Ethome you sweet poet man are the blues singer of superior poetry

Kethry, dearest sister of mine, you give me wisdom, and help me fly
Ever there to lend me a hand, its you who hear my hearts soft sigh
Totally without conceit you refuse to see the beauty that’s in you
Hear now my words of praise for I mean every word Lynne I really do
Richly do you deserve my praise, but instead I just want to tell you
You are someone very special you’re inspiring and gracious, and I love you

Please my dearest sister don’t wander too far away from my heart
All my dreams would fade away if from my life you were to depart
Understanding your capacity to rise no matter how hard it may be
Long may you shine sister dearest, you are an eternal inspiration to me
Ask not why I love you that is clear to all you epitomize a souls beauty

So I come to the end of my little notes about inspiration but not quite
Very likely you know who else has inspired my poetry’s phoenix flight
Every day his words are there before us one and all, John you write beauty
Now I thank you master writer for the pure wonder of your flowing poetry


Marsha

Personal note
These are just a few of the poets that have inspired me, I’ve been around Passions a year now, and it seems like just yesterday. I didn’t join on that very first day, like others before me I read and was soothed and then inspired to reassess my life. Those of my very closest friends will remember and as quickly forget, since they love me, the sort of state I was in when I arrived. It’s been a long journey to me, I’ve stumbled several times, and certainly fallen from grace more times than I like to recall. I just wanted to say thank you for so very much, to you all, may you always be the light of inspiration to those who follow.

Take care
Love and warm stuff
Mushy

you,...dear sister of my heart
made me cry, let teardrops start
for this I can forgive you, all
you helped me fly, let me stand tall
you gave me standards to strive towards
humility has it's own rewards
and so dear sister thank you dear
I'm so very glad that you came here
my life would not be quite the same
if I'd not joined in your games
in return true friendship found
God bless you always, whe'er your bound.
