You know who you are

To my poetic friends, and those I have not met as yet....

You are all asleep now, my beloveds;

I have woken early and have read your

love, your agony, redemption, spirit

left for me before you went to bed.

Each of you at times brought me my sorrow,

each of you at times returned my laugh.

Each of you remind me joy is doubled

if it's shared, and pain is cut in half.

From my darkened den I send you respite;

from rekindled soul I bid you rest.

Would I could greet each of you tomorrow;

know that every one of you is blessed.

Reviews

[FJ Davis]

Yours is a positive, supportive attitude naturally fostering fraternity amongst fellow writers. Your reviews are typically kind and encouraging; apparently, when you feel you can't be either of these things, you simply move on.
This fine, heartfelt poem embodies some of the loving intentions which motivate much of what you say and do--intentions clearly emanating from a highly-evolved soul.
Thank you, Joel.

There is nothing more special than you Joel M Frye...

except maybe being your friend ;-)
