To My Poet Friend

He is my poet friend I know his voice through the stroking of his pen A kind-hearted gentle giant, who towers above lesser humans His compassion has made him grow into a mountain of benevolence I do not know him personally, but I feel I know him very well Kindred spirits have this unique ability, we can always tell one of our own Possessing hope unsullied ... faith full-blown He's like a wise king to me, someone who enjoys walking amongst the people, more than sitting on his throne This is why he is my poet friend I'm soothed by his voice through the stroking of his pen Aaah, yes ... his poetry This distinctive voice is what first attracted me, made me ponder deep things Made me laugh at human foibles with his articulate phrasings I am humbled that he considers me as one of his poet friends This simply reveals the heart of the man, it's big enough to let most anyone in A tribute to my beloved friend, Richard Lamoureux
