Go gently

the friend picked up the missive
and read disconcerting
words

if ESP could gift a lift
they were sent on thoughts alone

“go gently”

from most outward of perspective
and gained inner knowledge
a friend saw the despair circling
an inward spire

knowing that the sender, in all earnestness
would only employ any encircling
to make wider a life,
encompassing even more
in valued trust

there, then, was the friend, caught up
in the entanglement of a circle
ever tightening
threatening to
strangle all light

becoming

the black hole

“go gently”

thoughts, glowing with well-being
shimmered along the atmosphere of space
and time
a continuum that could be

felt

as light as the summer day’s breeze
across a cheek

“go gently, my friend”

and in the moment of
quiet

the friend paused, heard a voice, felt

the warm

smiled a knowing peace

and whispered

thank you.

Nicely written, and I enjoy the word play in this..

I know exactly what you mean with this Lady.  Sometimes we can hear the soft messages whispered on the wind.  Thank you, this is lovely....

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.
