Inhaled

Although not physical you have entered this soul...  You have reached beyond the surface and delved into the depths  It is the freedom of your spirit without limitations, you have now placed within  Each of us a gift yet you choose to share it  As the Sunsets blend into majestic colors you will be remembered  When your spirit breathed you captured this soul  You saw need, you understood, you saw richness  My guard was let down You choose the entrance bestowing more wealth that this soul could release your presense felt Now as your Sunset arrives I will be there with you...

Additional Notes:
This was written on the spur of a moment for someone special at this site. They have given direction to so many over the years and this is my appreciation of those wonderful efforts. I have only shared it with two people here so I thought I better share it with the rest.

Thomas, This is definitely a fine tribute, to one very special person though it is fitting of anyone who has been mentor, student, quiet listner. I do not know where to start, but I do agree that she has given so much, with her spirit a spirit has been awaken in many of us. You've done a superb job for something created on the spur of the moment, your hand must have been guided by a celestial muse who shares in your feelings. You have shown such deep emotions, and as the layers of this poem are peeled off one can see and feel the admiration and repect with which you hold this person. As long as there are people like you to write this type of poem about another, their spirit and gift will never be lost for it is preserved in each who has walked away with a piece of them, better for the knowing. I hope Mellodian has the opportunity to read this, it is a fine honor. Your words IMHO are heart felt and well chosen. Thank you for the allowing me the honor of reading this work. Best always, Lora
