Across The Miles

For Suzanne Gaddess A voice with no sound Stretches across invisible miles A voice of words like an outstretched hand Its fingers waiting to be touched By another in a much sought bond of friendship The words are read and treasured like precious jewels The fingers have touched Another voice of words Extends itself across the miles Like an invisible thread The much sought link is forged Friendship through words of unseen faces grows Trust follows in the distance As words of comfort, sorrow and joy Move back and forwards along the invisible thread 28 December 2006
