EnhancedI found within cascading thoughts immersed in sun while shadows danced a need to speak, in candid course of how, through you, my life's enhanced Our love of words, an honest art, when weaving worlds of verse and rhyme This blessing has befallen us and shan't depart before its time For friendship grows with every laugh and every teardrop draws us nigh We've had bestowed a gracious gift of treasured trust in vast supply So take my tender hand in yours and we will talk into the night to share the contents of our hearts and travel miles before the light |

Sudhir, my word, what a lovely thing to say to a person. Thank you, my friend. Julie, thank you! My first creative writing professor in college was the person who, above all else, put it into my mind that perhaps I might be able to write. A remarkable man, a poet laureate, to whom I will always be grateful. Brian, I read a BEAUTIFUL poem of yours today! The one for your friend, Alan. Still loving that one, my friend. Thanks for reading this, it comes directly from my heart. serenity, "poetic gossamer" sounds so nice...thank you, in earnest, for your ever encouraging notes here. I'm glad you enjoyed this one...I enjoyed composing it. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Claire, What a lovely way you have of describing friendship. This person is very fortunate to have a friend such as yourself. Take care, Michael Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |

"So take my tender hand in yours and we will talk into the night to share the contents of our hearts and travel miles before the light" these lines spoke to me - so beautifully, so softly - 'twas like an angel's kiss |
