Language

How poor

my language must seem

to your learned eyes,

but

it is the treasure of my heart

that I lay before you

read me well,

read me kind,

my friend

You have always had a place in my heart...earning it by such graceful words written in a caring way that always holds me keeping me wrapped warmly likened to that favorite robe and slippers I cherish as I sip a hot cup of tea...I am happy to read your words and happier to call you friend...

I heard through the grapevine that someone said this place wasn't important. That I shouldn't be in here flirting with men. I don't think they realize how much more there is to the conversations I have. What it means to me to share treasured words.

You've taken the words right out of my heart

read me well,
read me kind,
my friend

You're getting to be one of my favorite poets.

All words are treasures of the heart, and how well you convey that emotion, all we can ask of people is to be kind and understand, beautiful sentiment.

A soft and gently spoken piece. It speaks a lot and is written beautifully

. i'm incapable of kindness, remember? ... but this is oh so moving and overwhelming and beautifully written ... you bring out the genius of simplicity and expression ... your golden heart pours with these words ... and we're all so blessed to read you, oh wondering mind ... i cannot imagine the universe of verse without your words ...
