tamed

to us, dearest friend -
you are unique in all the world

in your presence
we all rejoice,
though even with distance,
we recall your voice.

the heart can see that
to which eyes are blind,
and these hearts feel you always,
out of sight, but not mind.

in the joshua trees,
we hear your laughter,
carried by a gentle breeze.

on the red, rock wall,
we know your strength.
it grows through every fall.

in the sunset skies,
we see your beauty -
like artwork to the eyes.

when the rains won’t stall,
we feel your compassion.
it washes right over us all.

so in your absence,
though we may weep,
you are still here, connected
by the love that we keep.

like the little prince,
and his favorite rose,
you have tamed us now,
as the fox surely knows.

connections we create,
are life’s precious pearl,
and though others we will meet
through whom our hearts shall unfurl,

to us, dearest friend -

you are unique in all the world.

~

happy birthday
