cre

you see beyond the rest of us, i think
your musings float like snowflakes
down, down
and cover our small world with wonder

cre-scent
you were sent to us, i think
some kind of night time goddess
you rise as the day falls asleep
deep slumber
cast gentle glow upon the faces of poets
you guide the lost, give hope to the restless
and shine, comforting
but you borrowed a few arrows from diana
you know how to shoot straight when needed

and the poetry you
cre-ate- i relate
to so many of your words and ways of feeling
you've left me reeling many times
wondering
pondering
what i felt within

i
cre-dit you
as my inspiration
for more than several poems
something about the way
you play with words
and emotions spill in my heart
onto the page

cre
one of my closest friends
and favorite poets

the cre-me de la creme

you've mended my hurts
and listened to my tears
advice given has been advice needed

more than that
your poetry
has been my nightlight
the lullaby
that sings, soft
and lets me dream

for this, i thank you
