Held Captive By Your Words Dear poet, I am mesmerized, Enriched by visions through your eyes; I slip into hypnotic gaze, Bewitched by words upon the page. Held captive by your woven threads, As line by line, my mind descends; Arrested by the beauty there, Reality, left unaware. A slow and gentle rhythmic dance, Belies the senses, here entranced; Enthralled by wonders of the world I've drifted to, as sights unfurl. With fluid motion, I digress, As thoughts entwine, beliefs transgress; Enchanted through illusions penned, Dimensions spiral ... mind transcends. Awake me not, from tranquil scene, As through your words, I softly dream. /Kit McCallum ***I wrote this after having been inspired by Christopher's poem "From Midnight Blue to Dreaming"  /pip/Forum42/HTML/000932.html .

Beautiful tribute and so well deserved as well. You have chosen to recognize one of the best and in doing so you have obtained a higher level yourself. I have enjoyed watching you grow in your poetry and each one just gets better and better and when you can pen one for another that has reached you then you yourself have reached that one as well in return. Superb.....could you tell I found it to my liking? BTW....why is Karilea hiding under the desk like that? |

Kit, this is beautiful, your work has been getting better and better. It's always been good but what now can I say but simply amazing. ( Oh and Kit ask Kari to stop hiding her light under those bushes, she always listens to you.) Take care Marsha  |

This may well be the best of Kit I've read - and believe me that is saying a lot and O agree with Shar - the inspiration matters not - but thank you for pointing it out all the same |
