Distant Friend

- Distant friend, calling me From afar, Your written voice I hear In the endless echoes of beauty, within your shinning star. Through your gifted, and wonderfully wandering pen You alight my deep, dark sky, You release my tired and torn soul, With those words of yours, that so freely fly. Though never having meet Face to face, I seem to know you from forever... And so easily feel your spirits embrace. Through your flowing and flowering words Laid along my souls journey, I've been quietly invited Into your hearts domain of beauty, and mystery. You have helped me learn And made me to grow, You've expanded my mind And greatly enlivened my soul. I have a pen All my own... But, no longer do I need To write all alone. For even though in the present We're at such distant ends, You and I shall forever be In spirit, the closest of friends.
