Song (to Cherie L 😘)

A friend

In the

Form of

A bird

Greeted me

Today she

Sang a

Song I’d

Long forgotten

It’s you

She sang

It’s you

You and

Your words

That sing

Mine are

Simply calls

But yours

Yours are

Here to

Let others

Sing theirs

Crutch (to Bean)

Some say

A crutch

Is a

Weakness a

Lean-to a

Support no

It isn’t

It is

Defiance an

Acceptance that

In life

Things fail

Us and

Only the

Strong admit

Stand up

And continue

On always

Bean

And something

Was said

And down

To my

Knees I

Went crying

A hand

Came down

And lifted

My chin

Wiped away

Tears with

Soft fingers

Knelt with

Me and

Whispered come

Home come

Now this

World isn’t

Yours anymore

And so

I went

To heaven

Masks (to Dallas)

We met

At a

Masquerade ball

Not seeing

What we

Normally see

Instead listening

To things

We never

Heard and

At midnight

Masks were

Dropped and

There we

Stood now

More attracted

Than ever

Because then

We saw

The face

That whispered

The melodies

Upon which

We sang

Comfort (to Chandler)

And sometimes

We hear

A plea

And stop

What we’re

Doing and

Listen seek

Discover distress

We choose

Then whether

Or not

To provide

Comfort and

If so

We are

Indeed created

In His

Only image
