Artist

You're a painter of words

My friend

Each one a stroke

That bleeds deeper into its canvas

A surface that can't reflect

It's depth

You're a sculptor

Of thoughts made malleable

How gentle your kneading fingers are

Firm with each caress

Creating masterpieces

Each medium feeling as though

It were a part of the next

You do that so well

A seamless transition of them all

As if you knew 

From the first mark of pen

To the final smoothing of stone

Exactly what you would do

Is it so effortless as it seems?

So simple

Placing emotions in with your dialect?

I applaud you

You're among the best

That I have known yet

WORDS!!!
Words are weapons and words are cures. Words turn night to day and dusk to dawn.
Your words, dearest poet, have gifted my soul with more than merchants' jewels or pirates' gold.
"Thank you" could never be enough.

I'm genuinely glad you liked it, you inspired this.

It will be easy to cherish your poem, Najee. I am inspired by so very many people and things; but I inspire so very few people.

[Meraki]

If we knew how many hearts we've touched, how many souls we've inspired, I'm not sure we would be the people we are now. In fact I'm almost certain.

Wise words from a young heart.

[Meraki]

Wisdom has nothing to do with age but everything to do with experience and the ability to observe. Thank you, Kevin, for inspiring me. I've wanted to thank you for awhile now and each time I tried my words fell short, until now of course.

[Misery]

The timing is perfect. At a dark place in my life your poem has brought a much needed glow of joy.

[Meraki]

I hope it's not abysmal for much longer.

No worries...it's all just another cycle of life...highs and lows and in between.
