Four Winds

Dedicated:
To a special Lady who paints rainbows with her words

The greatest gift a poet could give

Is the shatter the darkness with written words
Compassionate memories which makes us want to live
Touching thoughts within our destiny we try so hard to purge

Dwelling deep within ourselves letters begin to merge
A gathering of cries as mellowing minds begin a lofty surge
Bringing forth calmness in synonyms not meant to mar
Placed into stanzas they reveal just who we are

As the four winds blow across a sea so ever blue
The banter of friendship resides in rainbow's imbues
Stirring a warmth within our hearts
Spreading a glow in the smiles we impart

So take heed to all who share this special gift
It's given to those who compose with tender loving care
From the shadowy vestige of the highest mountain cliff
We'll caress ones heart and soul in the words we write to share
