Celebrating kindred spirits

When I read your words and there is a surge of awe
and that overwhelming feeling of dismay at my own ineptness
threatens to push me off the precipice
then your gentle persuasive encouragement
pulls me back from the ledge
pushing me to try to better myself

When your keen eye unerringly zeroes in
on the nuance couched in my ordinary words
I try to convey my delight through emojis at hand
your warmth crocheted in caring comments
wraps my heart in a virtual embrace

When you open for me a window into your world
giving me a glimpse into the unseen and unknown
I travel the world from the cushy comfort of my home
savouring sounds and sights; sensory delights
heart all a tingle with a satisfied smile

When your verses full of vivacity and verve
jauntily hold my hand and pull into your world
you infuse my thoughts and lighten my heart with your quirky smile
that I espy twinkling in each line and stanza
I then feel light as a bird and soar with your words
and never have I felt that you are miles away.

Written for dVerse poetics. Today I am the host and we are paying tribute to blogger friends. Come join us.

I have borrowed a line from Kate’s post.

A shoutout to all blogger friends who have stood by me through my erratic schedule. I may not return to regular blogging till sometime in April.
