A Poem For Pd
A unicorn took flight with brilliant, rainbow wings
ascending from the heart of a joyous poet.
Dark eyes shined like jewels, smiling from high,
parting dark clouds and unwrapping gifts of
love and friendship. Words of light and purest
energy reached to heaven on a spiral staircase
where blessed angels extended hands of healing
to a poet's heart. They know her well, her hands are creators
of many a masterpiece - sharing, befriending, inspiring, encouraging -
soulful in words and action, passionate in her artistry,
selfless of her time...see how her admirers crowd around
as the unicorn descends once again from her rainbow flight?
All wait with feet on the ground, sharing prayers, asking the angels
to sing so she may feel and know she is not alone.
Never, ever alone in the fight. Too many of us have been
where she has been, felt the darkness pierce our hearts.
With hope and faith, the sun will shine again. The angels will sing.
She will ride that unicorn again and share her poetic heart again,
smile again, laugh again, teach and inspire.
She is more than just PD, she is Linda -
friend, daughter, mother, grandmother, nurturer -
The darkness cannot have her. She is needed in the light.
