Words Upon A Page
Your words ignite my spirit,
when its light begins to dim
And laugh out loud along with me,
when I’m happy once again
Sometimes they mock my own words,
with a quip and haughty tease
Then return with warm assurances,
that put me quick at ease
I don’t know how it happened,
that our friendship came to be
In our world of separate spaces,
it remains a mystery…
How with just some words upon a page,
lacking sight and sound and touch
About the other person,
we could learn so very much
And feel deep and lasting friendship,
growing stronger every day —
Never looking in each other’s eyes,
and though many miles away
Reflections of two open hearts,
in metaphor and rhyme
Souls discovering each other,
in virtual space in time
With only words to bind them,
to friendship ever true —
I’m so grateful for the written words,
that brought me close to you.
