You are the chalice, filled to brim the golden rim teasing the touch of softest moist lips.
You are the waters running pure, pristine amongst the forest woods. Babbling heartily, cheerfully... A sound caressing one’s ear.
You are the valley lying quiet, tendrils of smoke lazily curling amongst the trees.
You are the sounds of rails hammering beneath the iron horse’s wheels...laboring on a mountain grade.
You are beauty, bountiful and serene. Luscious as a succulent grape, Twirled easily, lazily between one’s teeth.
You are these and more... All parts of one whole, one delicate soul I call, I whisper to...as my friend.

As Elvis would say, "Thankya! Thankya very much!"
A poem surely to delight the subject of such a flattering piece of poetry!
Good to read your heart again, Barry!

This is one of those times when we see the writer as clearly as we do the one he describes... and are thankful for eyes that see beyond the surface. *S*
Beautiful!!!
