Thank You, Dear Poet You made the hills come alive with the music they have always wanted to sing. You have opened an orchid’s heart so that I could hear the sweet message of a flower. You filled the woods with the harmony of your words so that they would enchant me with their quiet voices. You surrounded the lake with notions of tranquility so that I could find peace by the gentle waters. You filled the sunset with colors of my dreams. You turned the night sky into poetry, The dawn into yearning And love became the Pinnacle of my heart’s endeavor And faith, the sublimity of my soul‘s desire. And yet, in all of these you left spaces of enchantment to be filled by other poets, seats of comfort upon which unconsidered notions will some day sit. You left an empty page for another to continue the rhapsody of your beauteous verse. Thank you, dear poet, for etching your words into my life and for giving such pleasure to my eye, that it will continue to see the grace of your thoughts through every spectrum of joy that lays in the pathway before me.

Dear Liz. You’ve found the friendship we all seek With words you need to say Some hope to stop the tearing fears That ache the heart each day We read your words of thought and life To give our thoughts reply Some time we steal so words can heal As time and thoughts go by Enjoyed the read once again. Sincerely Rick |
