He’s my biggest inspiration
The source, it seems, of my creations
As mystical as stars on high
The wind that gives me strength to fly

He’s cascading waterfalls
The mourning dove and sparrow’s calls
The knight in all his gallantry
The muse behind my poetry

He’s cool, crisp raindrops in July
The comfort of a lullaby
The soulful sound of mellow sax
He’s Sunday mornings, so laid-back

He’s strong, but yet, he’s gentleness
Unflinching grasp and soft caress
A laugh, a tear, a quiet sigh
The breath of life for which I’d die

My second wind when I need rest
The weathered rock that’s stood the test
He’s fire and ice, he’s bittersweet
The crimson rose, the golden wheat

And in the stillness of the night
He comes to draw me into flight
To distant lands, to azure streams
He comes to life, but in my dreams

beautifully written my poetic friend...

You have once again more than proven you can top this old geezer in our "kick start our muse endeavors."

Twill be off line for a while as things are getting a bit hectic out here on the plains, but I expect to be reading some of your wonderful poetry when I check back in.  Who knows, maybe I will even run into Mike and have him stop in.

what a spectacular dream--the perfect HE!
Your poem trickled along beautifully.  I didn't want it to end. I plan to keep this for a pretty thought.  A pleasure to read.
