You were...

Dedicated to one of the finest of mentors, someone very dear to my heart, who recently passed away...

You were...
the warmth in my
secret garden
shelter from harsh
winds intruding
delicate as
filigree fronds
velveteen heart
gently perfumed
You were...
softly-spoken
steady gracious
comforting soul
insightful wise
....and now
you're
gone....

Superb tribute to a very lovely, gracious person, now indeed, gone. Wonderful imagery conveying their preciousness and blessing to yourself. Very gently poignant. Very beautiful, delightful bittersweet.

This is a beautiful tribute to someone close to you departed. I like to think they have just stepped into another room for a period of rest. Happy Christmas Robyn

Beautiful poem, straight from the heart. Must have brought a tear, to write this delicate prose. Also, a eulogy that would endear a life time.

Beautiful written, no words could make up for your loss, can't do nothing other than try to send a few bits of love. I think that we can loose anything in this life but the memory of those we loved may forever live in our hearts. May the memory of your mentor and friend guide you well and give you strength. Good poem touched to the core, thank you for share.

My deepest sympathy, dear Robyn, on your recent loss. Your grief is etched in each word from your skilled pen. This poem is a wonderful and well deserved tribute to someone so special, who now continues to take the greatest good care of you, who is ever near you, who continues to be to you what you were to each other in this life, from Spirit.

I love your excellent choice of graphics and the way you have laid out the poem so eloquently. A privilege to read your work, as always, dear friend. Thank you for sharing. Angel Blessings to surround you and bring you comfort, easing you through you grief.......
