Kindliness
She sees the world in images of grace,
reminding us that life's not what it seems,
to see the beauty in another's face,
and hope they may be blessed in their dreams.
that everything be curative and calm,
devoid of sham contentedness and pain,
that if the need arises take an arm
and offer solace for another's gain.
Her poetry shines brightly as a star
and reaches far beyond the rough and mean,
it touches those both nearby and afar
with truth and fidelity rarely seen.
I am proud to consider her a friend,
a kindliness to nurture and to tend.

...to a dear poet friend
