A Friend,Lady,Muse

She molds the fabric

of her soul into---

artistic creations.

Thus,sharing for

all to view.



Instrument assisted hands,

she reveals the sensitivity

and vulnerability of

her inner self.



Love and warmth over-

flows from her heart.

Guidance sans judgment

for others is known by all.



She is not just an artist,a poetess,a writer.

She is Deborah...a friend,a lady a muse.

Great poem!; deep emotions, very impresive use language, narative structure with strong expression (what can do only great poems).

Thank You for sharing it with us.

All the best,
Nikola

Linda,

What a delightful tribute to your good friend Deborah! She deserves all the accolades you give to her in this lovely poem . . . I know that for a fact, for she is a wonderful friend to me also. She is always there to lend support and encouragement. I enjoyed reading this special poem you wrote in Deborah's honor. I am lucky now to count you, Linda, as one of my special friends!

Beautiful words and a reminder too in an age when friendship is too often transient. How did we all get so far away from each other?

I know that Deborah loved this poem........ she is such a sweetie..... this was one of the greatest tribute pieces I have ever read...... the first time I read this...... I just knew that it was about D. Russell..... but had not at that time read your comments..... so when I did read them and find out that it was truly about her..... well for me that said that you did a hell of a job writing this piece..... thank you for sharing your work with us

I cried the first time I read this. I am either sentimental, or overwhelmed that you would write something so tender for me. I did tell you how I felt about this poem, but I forgot to mention that you are a special friend. Thank you for always supporting me through comments for my work, and for the emails which are good for the soul. Take care Linda, and may you be blessed for your sweet heart.
