Your words are Steel Standing strong and proud Designed to last forever Wonders to behold Comfort A place to retreat As the whole world fades away Contentment abides Lace Threads of life woven With use of delicate touch In unique patterns Heroic No spandex or cape But you fly, conquer evil Make the world better Droplets Refreshing tired souls Offering hope and cleansing Sustaining through drought Magic Taking us elsewhere On some journey you've prepared Opening our eyes Mine You write for many But some touch me so deeply Become my treasures.

Suthern, we often attract that which we ourselves are--the same thing goes for poetry! Your words are whereof you speak, Dear One. Love, Light, & Literature! EA |

Excellent, simply excellent. This a tribute to the very things that a writer tries to attain, and feels like both king of the world and its luckiest gambler, in those times when he succeeds -- As you have here. |
